| Notes: | Drawing upon feminist theory and discourse analysis techniques, this article explores the relationship between love and abuse, highlighting ways in which false dichotomies are constructed between these two concepts, in both personal and professional contexts. Argues social workers need to begin ‘engaging critically with love’ and challenge perceptions of love and abuse as binary opposites. The role popular culture plays in reproducing stereotypical images of love is discussed and the potential that feminist discourse theories have for contributing to mainstream psychological approaches to love and social workers’ understanding of the intersections between love and abuse in women’s lives, is examined. |
