""Working with domestic violence and coercive control in clinical practice, by Saira Khan, Mou Sultana, and Katy Lord, reflects the modern position that interactions between people in family systems are the foundation for good relationships as well as for conflicts. Oversimplified views of both marital and parent-child processes can be tempting but are usually wrong. Khan, Sultana, and Lord lay out family clinical issues in all their complexity and update readers on concepts like coercive control, providing a highly informative and concise view of a broad area of interest."" Dr Jean Mercer, Professor Emerita of Psychology at Stockton University ""The growing recognition of coercive control has prompted much-needed conversations within the mental health field. This comprehensive new guidance provides consensus and clear clinical guidance on how to identify and work effectively with coercive control in therapeutic settings. It provides a ‘light in the dark’ to address treatment inconsistencies and profound ethical concerns associated with the continued oppression and institutionalised harm of victim-survivors. The authors skillfully outline the potentials of humanistic, feminist, and trauma-informed frameworks as the foundation for clinical work."" Dr Elizabeth Dalgarno is a victim-survivor advocate, Lecturer at University of Manchester and the Founder and Director of SHERA Research Group. ""This important book fills a critical gap in supporting a deep understanding of coercive control from an intersectional, trauma-informed perspective. It integrates ecological frameworks with practical clinical guidance, offering psychologists essential tools to recognise and respond to the complex dynamics of domestic abuse."" Nic Douglas is the European Regional Manager at the Safe & Together Institute. Her 21 years’ experience in the domestic abuse field has spanned front-line service delivery, project management, and systems change work with national, European, and international reach.
