dc.description.notesExamines the need for marital and family therapy theories and practice on domestic violence to incorporate, in addition to their awareness of gender, a recognition of race, class, sexual orientation and other dimensions of social life that can intersect in women’s lives, creating specific forms of disadvantage and oppression. Reviews some of the most recent family therapy literature on domestic violence, highlighting the scarcity of attention paid to the consequences of intersectionality. Suggests that the neutral and universal language and concepts employed in the family therapy literature can both deny and render invisible, certain kinds of victimisation and that defining domestic violence as ‘culturally relative’ is an inadequate, and often inaccurate mode of responding to this lack of recognition. Some of the practical consequences of intersections and domestic violence are discussed, such as service barriers and systemic discrimination. It is concluded that, if family therapists are to respond appropriately to clients from a diversity of backgrounds, theoretical and practical models must be grounded in descriptions of the contexts in which they were developed and the groups they were developed to serve, and that greater emphasis must be placed on providing opportunities for those who have been silenced, to be heard.en
