We conducted a hybrid workshop at the 2024 UK Preconception Early-Mid Career Researcher (EMCR) Network conference, attended by academics, health professionals and members of the public ( N = 60). Small-group discussions on responsibility for preconception health improvement were audio-reco…

Telehealth is increasingly being adopted in mental health service delivery, particularly since the onset of COVID-19. However, the literature on the uses and applications of telehealth in mental health social work is still emerging, and a critical understanding of telehealth practice is vitally needed.

Exploring the Embodied Habitus of Early Career Social Workers
This article explores experiences of social workers in their first year of practice working in the Australian health sector, revealing how unexpected challenges affected them. The information, collected through an Australia-wide online survey and self-selected interviews, was analysed thematically, and re-examined through Bourdieu's theory of social fields to reveal how expectations to “hit the ground running” were experienced within a landscape …
Interoception in Anorexia Nervosa: Exploring Associations With Alexithymia and Autistic Traits
The results found no differences between heartbeat tracking task performance in people with AN compared to HC. There was no association between task performance, alexithymia and autistic traits in AN.

The findings are discussed in the context of potential significant limitations of the h…

Deconstructing Accounts of Intimate Partner Violence: Doing Interviews, Identities, and Neoliberalism
This article engages in a reflexive, critical, analysis, re-examining data from an earlier project that used qualitative interviewing to investigate the experiences of women who came into contact with police because of situations of ‘verbal abuse’. In the present article, we use discursive psychology to explore how the women navigated narratives of abuse during the interviews; the ideological influences at play; and constructions of identity. Dur…
“Every Couple Has Their Fights … ”: Stigma and Subjective Narratives of Verbal Violence
Drawing on thirty in-depth interviews with individuals who have experienced verbal violence in intimate and family relationships, this article utilizes constructivist grounded theory to examine the tensions inherent in representations of verbal violence in the interview context. The authors find that participants discursively construct verbal violence as a normalized experience, discuss it as an escalating problem, and retrospectively define it a…

In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 individuals, mostly women. While some reported positive perceptions of the police response, the participants’ accounts underscored the seriousness of verbal violence and revealed that when women seek help from police they often percei…
