Description This paper examines the concept of domestic violence as peculiarly observed among Nigerians. As a behaviour used by one person in a relationship to control the other, the partners may be worried or not; heterosexual, gay or lesbians; living together, separated or dating. The forms, etiological factors and dangers of domestic violence were x-rayed. Since domestic violence due to our cultural beliefs, industrialization, and globalized violence seems to consistently linger in our midst, a cognitive–behaviour strategy for its management has been offered. Such a management strategy involves cognitive restructuring, relaxation, humor, adequate communication and problem solving.

Key words: Cognitive behaviour, Strategies, Management, Domestic violence
