Notes:	Special Issue Title: "Intimate betrayal: Domestic violence in lesbian relationships" Feminist constructs and mainstream heterosexual approaches to domestic violence prevent an appropriate understanding of and response to same-sex partner abuse. This paper reports on research conducted with seventy feminist counsellors who participated in eight focus group discussions held in Canada. The study explores their perceptions when addressing intra-lesbian violence. Particular attention is drawn to the role of feminist domestic violence theory in their responses.
