 | Childhood Experiences of Domestic Violence Based on the first-hand accounts of children and their mothers regarding their experiences of both domestic violence and support services, this is the first book to examine children's experiences of a range of service provision in response to domestic violence. It seeks to encourage a more effective and professional approach in the services that aim to support and protect children, highlighting both the strengths and the shortcomings of existing professional interventions and illustrating the range of problems that children face when they are living with domestic violence. Caroline McGee is a Research Officer with the NSPCC Child Protection Research Group. Her main research interests are violence against women and children, surviving trauma and involving children in research. She is currently completing a PhD in Psychology on the survival strategies of women in rape situations, at Birkbeck College, University of London. |
