Summary/Abstract: Violence is one of the major public health problems according to the 2002 World Health Organization report. This report emphasized the need to prevent violent crime, so researchers and practitioners from around the world were invited to make a joint effort to address the causes and consequences of many types of violence throughout of the world. The aim of the paper is twofold. The first is to show, through certain researches and own research, that alcohol abuse and the development of alcoholism are a significant causative or emphasizing factor in the manifestation of domestic violence, with the existence of impulsiveness of a person as a backbone. On the other hand, the goal is to show that clubs of treated alcoholics represent an indispensable part of treatment in the treatment of alcoholism, but also that underutilized potentials for work with perpetrators of domestic violence who are either people with developed alcohol dependence syndrome or without a developed syndrome. Clubs of treated alcoholics, in their work, use psychosocial interventions for the treatment of alcoholism, which, with some minor modifications, may represent a good way to learn impulsivity control as the cause of violent behavior. This paper presents the previous research on the link between alcoholism and violent behavior, as well as the author's own research on this topic, while investigating the existence of impulsivity as the backbone for the manifestation of violence. The possible role of Clubs of treated alcoholics as an unused potential for the treatment of domestic violence caused by alcohol addiction, or without addiction, is also demonstrated, through minor modification of psychosocial interventions that are usually done in the treatment of alcoholism through the Clubs.
