| Title | Psychoanalysis and The Men's Centre: A Domestic Violence Approach |
| Summary | The Men’s Centre’s psychoanalytic approach to working with violent men is examined as an approach to working with domestic violence perpetrators and cross examined with other approaches to domestic violence. The Men’s Centre’s notion of masculinity is also interrogated, resulting in a conclusion that although the formulation that all men aspire to “the big M” may be useful for the Centre’s work, it is not generalizable to domestic violence theory, or an intersectional global approach for working with violent men. The unconscious is concluded as a positive aspect of The Men’s Centre’s psychoanalytical approach, and it is suggested that further exploration may benefit domestic violence theory. |
