Exploring the Challenges of Empathy in a Therapeutic Context
Professionals working in therapeutic contexts are vulnerable to developing occupation-related stress conditions such as burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. In such contexts, empathy is accepted as a crucial component of practice. However, social neuroscience research suggests empathy may adversely impact workers’ well-being. While occupation-related problems like compassion fatigue have relevance, they do not fully explain the pote…
Critiquing the categorisation and measurement of disability, and family and domestic violence
Women with disability (WWD) are considerably more likely to experience family and domestic violence (FDV) victimisation than women generally, however, estimates vary widely. This article considers the extent to which studies are able to apply intersectional understandings of FDV against WWD to the categorisation and measurement of the issue. A literature review of ProQuest and Scopus was undertaken in 2021. Peer-reviewed articles, books and book …

Exploring Lived Experience of Family and Domestic Violence Against Women With Disability
This article reports on a scoping review exploring understandings of family and domestic violence (FDV) against women with disability (WWD) within the literature and constitutes the second article in a two-part series, the first critiquing the categorization and measurement of FDV and disability. We report findings from qualitative studies included in the review, predominantly interpretivist and critical in orientation. The scoping review include…
Exploring Categories of Family Violence Across the Lifespan
Family violence may be experienced at any stage of the lifespan; however, these experiences are often understood differently based on the age of the victim and who perpetrates the abuse. The significance of age is evident in the three categories of child abuse, domestic and family violence (DFV), and elder abuse. Each of these categories has its own definition which determines who is considered a victim or a perpetrator, and the behaviors counted…
How Do Employees in the Disability and Family and Domestic Violence Sectors Respond to Disclosures of Violence From Women With Disability
Women with disability experience higher rates of family and domestic violence (FDV) compared to the rest of the population. There is limited research into how workers in FDV and disability organizations respond to violence against women with disability. Using a case study vignette of a woman with disability disclosing FDV, this phenomenological study explored how 10 employees across the disability and FDV sectors respond to disclosures of abuse, …
The Benefits of Loving Kindness Meditation for Helping Professionals
Helping professionals are at risk of experiencing adverse health and psychological problems when working in roles where they are continually exposed to the emotional distress of others. The term compassion fatigue was coined to describe symptoms of emotional and physical fatigue experienced by workers in these environments. However, empirical research contends that compassion does not cause fatigue, rather compassion is said to foster well-being …
Historiography of empathy
Empathy has long been considered critical to good social work practice, and is supported by extensive research and literature. However, empathy is a contested concept with divergent theoretical origins that complicates its place in social work research and practice. This article provides a historical review of empathy, highlighting the evolution of the concept of empathy, its contested history, and subsequent emergence into therapeutic contexts, …
Experiences of National Disability Insurance Scheme planning from the perspective of adults with intellectual disability
The Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is attempting to address long‐term inequalities experienced by people with disability. Planning is central to the NDIS. People with intellectual disability will be the largest group of NDIS participants, and their perspectives are underrepresented in the literature. It is important to understand how they experience and perceive NDIS planning. Ten adults with intellectual disability partic…
