The Power and Control Wheel, often refered to as the Duluth Model, was originally developed by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project after interviewing groups of domestic violence survivors in support groups and men in batterers groups. The women were asked to identify the ways in which they felt they were controlled, and the men were asked to identify what tactics they used to maintain an environment of fear and control. This variation on The Duluth Model, which also speaks to the experiences of battered immigrant women, is based on The Power and Control Wheel variations created and published by the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence and Life Span.
