------------

Stosny is the creator of the Stosny model of behavioral intervention programs for [intimate partner abusers](/wiki/Intimate_partner_abuse "Intimate partner abuse"). Its focus is on nurturing compassion, in contrast to the [Duluth model](/wiki/Duluth_model "Duluth model"), whose focus is on getting offenders to embrace [feminist](/wiki/Feminist "Feminist") principles. Stosny's program seeks to use tools such as the Stosny\-created 20\-minute video "Shadows of the Heart". Stosny's research shows that [self\-esteem enhancement](/wiki/Self-esteem_enhancement "Self-esteem enhancement") during treatment for partner violent men is correlated with violence reduction, and does not increase the risk for subsequent relationship aggression.
