Counseling to End Violence against Women
A Subversive Model
- Mollie Whalen - East Stroudsburg State University
Prevention of Interpersonal/Domestic Violence | Setting/Client Groups | Social Work Practice
Whalen argues that a counsellor working with an abused woman should not aim merely to empower the client to change a situation that is intolerable for that particular woman: the counsellor should also aim to change the social conditions that foster abuse. The author's model focuses on women collectively seizing power and ending violence against all women.
