Mainstream counselling in domestic violence often fails to address
critical issues, such as gender socialisation processes and the
abuse of power that allows violence against women, and focuses
primarily on the intra-psychic nature of individual women. In
contrast, feminist counselling is an effective alternative model,
owing to its ability to address the fundamental correlation of
abuse with power. In going beyond the individual, it helps women
locate the source of their distress in the larger social context of
power and control, manifesting in intimate, interpersonal
relationships, and enables them to resist systemic oppression. This
volume offers one of the first systematic documentations of
feminist psychosocial interventions in India. It situates the issue
of domestic violence in the historical context of the women's
movement, and examines institutional factors such as family and
marriage that perpetuate abuse. Using extensive case studies, it
discusses the methods, principles, techniques, skills and
procedures followed by feminist organisations across the country,
and their role in women's empowerment. The book will serve as a
practical reference guide to practitioners such as social workers,
counsellors and para-counsellors, health activists, grassroots
workers, protection officers and service providers. It will also be
useful to scholars and students of psychology, sociology, women's
studies, law and public policy.
