Narratives of Childhood Domestic Violence explores young women’s accounts of transitions to young adulthood after domestic violence in childhood, from a psychological perspective.This book centres a dialogue about epistemic justice and how experiences of violence that are marginal, marginalised, and less easily understood through dominant discourses can be listened to and heard. Taking a critical feminist psychological approach, Frances examines gendered and socio-culturally located narrative practices, arguing that narratives about change and transition in young adulthood after childhood domestic violence both re-inscribe societal narratives that can be constraining and present stories of resistance and hope. This book draws attention to the difficulties of being heard and understood when articulating an experience that sits in tension with normative expectations and trajectories for families and children growing up within them. It also examines how tensions in storytelling practices are articulated in creative, nuanced and diverse ways. Frances ends the book by offering considerations for theory, research and practice, including practical implications and interventions and recommendations for policy.This is an essential resource for academics and students interested in violence against women, feminist psychology, childhood abuse and concerns around epistemic justice, as well as professionals in counselling, social work, charity work, law and policy making.

This much-needed anthology repositions personal narratives at the heart of conversations about eating disorders. Through a series of intimate, incisive essays, contributors reflect on their lived experiences, challenging dominant clinical frameworks and exposing the limitations of current healthcare practices.Taking an intersectional, feminist approach, the book bridges theory and practice, weaving together personal testimony with critical insight. It highlights how race, gender, class, sexuality, and disability shape experiences of disordered eating and recovery, offering a nuanced critique of systems that often fail to account for these complexities. The essays confront the harm caused by inadequate training among healthcare professionals, while also imagining more compassionate, trauma-informed models of care. This is a book that refuses to flatten experience into diagnosis, insisting instead on the value of story, context, and community.Voices of Eating Disorders is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, students, and anyone seeking to understand eating disorders beyond the clinical gaze. It is a call to listen, to learn, and to reframe expertise not as something held by institutions, but as something lived, embodied, and shared.
