Bureaucratic violence
Having a terminal illness is associated with an increased risk of living in poverty and destitution at end of life. This is more pronounced for migrants who may not have the same social and cultural capital, or local family support, that established citizens have. This paper explores the financial challenges for migrants with a terminal illness. Qualitative interviews were conducted with healthcare staff, and legal and migration specialists suppo…

Drawing on interviews with 31 boys, this paper explores the accounts of their relationships with their perpetrator fathers, focusing particularly on the implications of boys’ understanding of these relationships for their sense of burgeoning masculinity.

Child's Play? Children and Young People's Resistances to Domestic Violence and Abuse
Children and young people's ( CYP ) space to play can be constrained in families affected by domestic violence and abuse ( DVA ), potentially impacting their development. Play also has the potential to strengthen CYP 's capacity to resist controlling and abusive dynamics in the family. Interviews were conducted with 107 CYP aged 8–18, and were analysed using interpretive interactionism. Three themes relevant to children's experiences of play were…

The genogram is a visual, symbolic representation of multiple generations of a family, structured in much the same way as a family tree. Genograms emerged within systemic family therapy as an assessment and intervention tool, but in their ability to generate rich data, they are gaining traction as a research method. While the benefits of genograms in therapeutic practice have been well documented, the literature exploring their use in research is…
Promoting Resilience and Agency in Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Domestic Violence and Abuse
The MPOWER programme is a resource oriented intervention to support children and young people (CYP) affected by domestic violence and abuse. It draws on principles from feminist informed systemic family practice and creative therapies. The intervention was delivered in 4 European countries (Greece, Italy, Spain and England), reaching 58 CYP. This paper reports on young participants’ wellbeing outcomes and perceptions of the intervention. Particip…
Children’s embodied experience of living with domestic violence
"Beyond "Witnessing
Children's experiences and voices are underrepresented in academic literature and professional practice around domestic violence and abuse. The project "Understanding Agency and Resistance Strategies" (UNARS) addresses this absence, through direct engagement with children. We present an analysis from interviews with 21 children in the United Kingdom (12 girls and 9 boys, aged 8-18 years), about their experiences of domestic violence and abuse, an…
