Your Abuser in Therapy
Your abuser "agrees" (is forced) to attend therapy. But are the sessions worth the effort? What is the success rate of various treatment modalities in modifying the abuser's conduct, let alone in "healing" or "curing" him?

Treat him as such. The most dangerous class of abusers is the paranoid-delusional.
