Working with Client Experiences of Domestic Abuse Summary

Working with Client Experiences of Domestic Abuse: A Handbook for Counsellors, Psychotherapists, and Other Mental Health Professionals by Jeannette Roddy (York St John University, UK)

This edited volume shares relevant theory and practical strategies to support counsellors to work effectively with those who have experienced domestic abuse.

The effect of relational and other abuses can impact an individual's ability to engage with family, friends, counsellors or other professionals trying to support them due to reduced ability to trust and the impact of complex trauma. Helping someone to recover requires specific knowledge and skills, not usually part of a standard professional training program. This book acts as a training manual, providing an overview of what clients need at different stages of recovery. It contains chapters written by staff who deliver counselling and mental health training and provides their insight into the specific issues that clients may present, suggesting constructive and accessible suggestions for practice, and a chapter on counsellor self-care. The reflections/exercises in each chapter will help the reader assess their competency.

Working with Client Experiences of Domestic Abuse will be of interest to mental health professionals, counselling training courses, and domestic violence services, who wish to incorporate counselling as part of their service offer.

Working with Client Experiences of Domestic Abuse Reviews

'This book is an invaluable resource to therapeutic practitioners wanting to understand more about working with domestic abuse. The book draws on an impressive wealth of practice experience and research evidence. Grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centred and relationship-focused lens, Jeannette and contributing authors engage deeply with the complexity of working with this client group, offering practical strategies, self-reflection exercises, and theoretical insights that will support therapists to develop their practice and understand more about domestic abuse.'

Tanya Beetham, PhD, is a lecturer in Psychology and Counselling at The Open University. She is a counsellor/psychotherapist with research expertise in domestic abuse.

'This book is a well-researched and accessibly written guide to working with domestic abuse, which addresses a range of theoretical and professional perspectives. Readers are encouraged to discern whether they are suited to domestic abuse as a specialism and to this approach to the work. A valuable resource for any practitioner.'

Nikki Dhillon Keane is the author of the BACP guidance Working with Domestic Abuse in the Counselling Professions and Domestic Abuse in Church Communities (rpbooks.co.uk) and founder of Safe in Faith and cofounder of the Faith and VAWG Coalition.
