I am experimenting with a self help group for male-batterers based on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. I am looking for literature on the subject and i am interested in experiences of other therapists/ researchers working with self- help groups for men who have difficulties in controlling their anger.
Consulting Dalai Lama's works and Buddhist Meditation is one option, especially You Tube based talks of Buddhist Nun Robina Courtin.
See this group doing with violent men in Australia - http://ntv.org.au/ No To Violence, Male Family Violence Prevention Association website.
It would be useful to have a look at the journal of violence and aggression, the journal of interpersonal violence and have a look on the Daphne website the European hub for work with violence.I would also read Alan Jenkins (2010)becoming ethical, Russell house publication
Don't know if this is the kind you are looking for. These groups have been operating in Finland for quite a while, have no personal experience, though.

Our book on self-help for pepetrators is published (in Dutch). It is a co-creation of therapists and patients. The text can be downloaded from RG
