Domestic violence, men's abusive power and control over women in intimate relationships, is a widespread but still largely hidden problem. Rethinking Domestic Violence explodes the myths concerning its nature and causes and explores how the responses of social workers and probation officers to the women, children and men involved need to be far better co-ordinated and more effective. Women experiencing violence and abuse are actually encountered in every social work setting but, to date, their needs have largely been ignored.The opening chapters of the book look at men's violence to women as a worldwide phenomenon, known in all cultures and through all ages. Traditionally dismissed as a man's right, as part of what women must endure in marriage, as the result of the man's drinking or as an occasional aberration in men who are psychologicaly ill, domestic violence has only recently been accepted as a criminal behaviour that must not be tolerated by a civilised society. Social work often became hooked not only into all the myths listed above but into another kind of unhelpful 'explanation' that violence was part of the dynamics of a relationship. This view may be particularly hard to shake off in facing up to men's responsibility for their abusive behaviours.
Rethinking Domestic Violence goes on to explore the opportunities and challenges, in every context of social work and probation practice and policy making, to meet the needs of abused women and their children and to confront abusive men. In some areas of work, such as child protection and groupwork with male perpetrators, domestic violence is already widely recognised as a major contemporary issue. This recognition urgently needs to spread to all areas of work - community care; mainstream probation practice; the whole of child care; duty rota responses to women with emergency needs; hospitals, day centres and family centres - everywhere where women may seek help.
