Perpetrators most in need of urgent help, says psychologist

People who violently assault their family members are in urgent need of assistance, according to a psychologist.

"Those suffering domestic violence are our major target for psychological help, because they've realized they need assistance and want to get out of trouble," said Meng Bin, a psychologist from the Shanghai Qingai Health Center.

But in Meng's view, perpetrators need help more urgently, "as they are the troublemakers", she said.
