Conceptualizing and Measuring Violence
Feminist methodological advances in gender-based violence research have yet to be comprehensively integrated into policy-based research. This article discusses methodological concerns identified when reviewing the UK government's public consultation for its 2021 Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy. We apply intersectional feminist perspectives and critical measurement analysis, and discuss two areas of methodological concern: issue…
Intersectional Consciousness in Studies of Violence
Violence has been a major area of global focus for feminist psychologists for decades. From its earliest volumes to the present day, Feminism & Psychology continues to provide a forum for critical and feminist psychological contributions in this domain. This work has collectively drawn attention to the power relations underscoring experiences of - and responses to - violence. Simultaneously, intersectional feminist theory has drawn attention to t…

Domestic abuse in childhood is seriously impactful, but very little literature uses a critical lens to consider implications for counsellors and psychotherapists working with young adults following domestic abuse in childhood. This article draws on research that explored 10 young women's accounts of transitions to adulthood after domestic abuse in childhood. Interviews with young adult women in England were conducted and a feminist dialogical nar…
Feminist listening and becoming
This article presents reflections on using the listening guide, focusing on reflexive work with voice poems. It is based on research which explored the stories of ten young adult women who experienced parental domestic abuse in childhood. A dialogical theory is used to reflect on the process of working with three voice poems, showing that we engage with the material we work with in embodied, emotional, and personal ways. It considers working with…
It's Just Kind of This Thing That I Need to Navigate”
Those who experience parental domestic abuse in childhood are affected in multiple ways, but existing research uses a narrow lens, relying on psychotherapeutic and neuroscientific understandings. This article uses a dialogical theory to explore women's recovery stories. Interviews were conducted with 10 women in England and a voice-centered narrative analysis was used. This article attends to gendered, psychotherapeutic, and neoliberal narrative …
Young Children’s Narrations of Relational Recovery
In the UK, domestic violence (DV) is one of the most common safeguarding concerns children and young people report (CAADA, 2014). However, little is known about how children experience participation in interventions that aim to support their recovery if they have been affected by DV. This study aims to understand children’s experiences of participating in a group programme facilitated by a DV organisation in the UK. Interviews were conducted with…

Following the literature review, data was generated through several research conversations with young people ( n = 2), through semi-structured interviews with mothers…
