Notes:	Provides a brief background to the feminist and psychological perspectives on domestic violence, highlighting the inadequacies of each and argues for the development of a language that can contain multiple perspectives and discourses. Attempts to break down the theoretical dichotomy between moral and psychological aspects of violence, providing examples of ways this might be done in practice. Suggests perpetrators cannot take responsibility for their violence in a meaningful way until they are able to deconstruct the patterns of moral reasoning that led them to violence, and discusses some of the therapeutic techniques utilised by the Gender and Violence Project at the Ackerman Institute in the US to achieve this.
