People with an intellectual disability
Purpose People with an intellectual disability are much more likely to be sexually violated and the violation is less likely to be reported. Despite this being high-lighted at least 3 decades ago and improvements in both safeguarding and national reporting processes, under-reporting remains a problem. This paper explored under-reporting alongside prevention possibilities using safeguarding alerts raised in a Community Learning Disability Team wit…
Dealing with the distress of people with intellectual disabilities reporting sexual assault and rape
When police officers interview people with intellectual disabilities who allege sexual assault and rape, they must establish rapport with the interviewee but deal with their distress in a way that does not compromise the interview’s impartiality and its acceptability in court. Inspection of 19 videotaped interviews from an English police force’s records reveals that the officers deal with expressed distress by choosing among three practices: mini…
Police interviews with vulnerable people alleging sexual assault
Reporting sexual assault to the authorities is fraught with difficulties, and these are compounded when the complainant is hindered by an intellectual disability (ID). In a study of 19 U.K. police interviews with complainants with ID alleging sexual assault and rape, we found that most interviewing officers on occasion pursued lines of questioning which not only probed inconsistencies (which is mandated by their guidelines), but implicitly questi…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Qualitative Research and Clinical Psychology
The relationship between qualitative research and clinical psychology has at times been uneasy, but it is increasingly rich and reciprocal. Clinical psychologists appear to be making increased use
Consuming Male Identities
The excessive and public consumption of alcohol with other men has been a traditional indication of manliness in Western cultures for many years. However, over the last two decades, this association has been eroded, in part through increased consumption by women. Within the gender‐relational context of this increase, we empirically explore ways in which particular (friendship) groups of young men and women (re)construct masculine identities. The …
Getting on with it”
This study investigates women's experiences of symptoms, methods of coping, and patterns of interaction with health care providers in relation to urinary tract problems. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 20 women (aged 50–79 years) who had recently been referred by their general practitioners (GPs) to a urology unit. Transcripts were subjected to Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Analysis revealed that although women encourag…
Alcohol Consumption, Gender Identities and Women’s Changing Social Positions
Redundant men
In this article the constraints on identity change for a group of working class men experiencing long‐term unemployment in the UK is examined. Despite their lack of access to paid employment, these men continued to construct their gender identity around the breadwinner persona. The theoretical framework employed concepts from both Connell and Bourdieu. Based on discourse analysed data collected from a series of four loosely structured group discu…
Snakes and Ladders
This paper explores the ways in which male offenders in professional‐status occupations prior to conviction construct and justify money‐related crime. We report a detailed analysis, based in grounded theory and critical social‐psychological discourse analysis, of a loosely‐structured group interview with four offenders. The men constructed justifications for their offenses in terms of “breadwinning” for their immediate family and economic respons…

From Suet Pudding to Superhero
Men's health has been receiving increasing attention in recent years, both in the media and in academic literature. In February 1998 a British Sunday newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, ran a three-week special feature on 'A woman's guide to men's health'. Linguistic representations of health in popular media are revealing of social concerns regarding both the control of health and health care, therefore we critically analysed these texts using post-s…
Wham Bam, am I a Man
In contemporary society, being powerful is typically associated with, among other things, being male, middle class and employed. The cultural ascendancy of these characteristics is supported by specific structural and discursive patterns. However, there are a number of ways in which these cultural yardsticks can be challenged. In this paper we summarize the discursive patterns constructed by a group of working-class men experiencing long-term une…
