1	A portfolio of academic, therapeutic practice and research work including an investigation of the bisexual experiences of intimate partner abuse Head, Sarah January 2013 (has links) The objective of this study was to explore the subjective experience of bisexual people who have experienced intimate partner abuse and to provide a tentative foundation upon which further discourses and research work can build. Eight participants were recruited and provided taped data from semi-structured qualitative interviews. These were transcribed verbatim and were analysed using grounded theory methodology. A theoretical understanding of the bisexual experience of intimate partner abuse was developed. The basic psychological process of 'adjusting for consonance' described the dynamic process of the categories 'getting lost in the relationship' and 'lifting the veil'. New insights into the bisexual experience of intimate partner abuse are provided and their clinical implications are discussed. 616.85822
2	The self-concept of battered women : an ecosystemic study Mashaba, Evah Malebo January 2009 (has links) The aim of this study was to explore the self-concept of battered South African women.

4	Ecologies of violence: implications for theory and practice Pera, Linda Paula 30 November 2004 (has links) This postmodern dissertation examines three individual experiences of violence in South Africa, using the qualitative research method of heuristics. Using social constructionism as a lens for viewing the phenomenon, violence is seen as occurring within a specific ecology, which is part of the individual's fluctuating, subjective reality. This discussion proposes that the violent experience, to which meanings are attributed, is part of the individual's socially constructed ecology. This ecology can either be transformed or conserved through dialogue, specifically dialogue relating to the telling of the story of the violent experience. This is discussed in relation to therapeutic encounters. The primary objective of the research is the implication of ecological thinking generally and, more specifically, ecological thinking on violence, for therapeutic interactions and psychological theory. This discussion also refers to psychological ethics. / Psychology / MA (CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY) Transformation Conservation Violence Ecology Ecological thinking Ecological therapy Postmodernism Social constructionism Meaning making South African ecology Therapeutic ethics Clinical psychology training 616.85822 Internship programs Violence Postmodernism --Psychological aspects Clinical psychologists--Training of Social constructionism Ecological family therapy Family violence
