Psychology as a Natural Science: The Safe & Together Model: A Behavioural Approach to IPV with Ruth Reymundo Mandel and David Mandel
Our founder and CEO David Mandel and Chief Business Development Officer Ruth Reymundo Mandel were featured on counsellor, author, and trauma survivor Oli Doyle’s Psychology as a Natural Science YouTube channel to discuss the Safe & Together Model’s behaviorally oriented approach to coercive control.
In this powerful conversation, Ruth and David dive into:
How the Model’s coherent system-building approach makes domestic and family violence practice more effective and respectful
Addressing the critical problems of mother- and victim-blaming
Raising expectations for men as fathers and partners
How professionals and allies can better support survivors while holding people who use harm accountable
This discussion highlights the heart of our work at Safe & Together—creating systemic reform that truly centers the safety and well-being of survivors and their children.
