About this listen

Coercive control is a severe form of domestic violence experienced by millions of children worldwide. It involves a perpetrator using a range of tactics to intimidate, humiliate, degrade, exploit, isolate, and control a partner or family member. Some coercive control perpetrators use violence, others do not.

Drawing on interviews with children and mothers who have experienced coercive control-based domestic violence, this groundbreaking book sheds light on the impacts of coercive control on children, how it is perpetrators who must be held accountable for those impacts, and how resistance by children and mothers occurs. Resistance happens in everyday life, not just in response to incidents of violence. Breaking free from coercive control is not a one-off event but a sustained battle for safety and recovery in which child and adult survivors need support and professional interventions that work.

Written accessibly for students, researchers, practitioners, survivors of domestic violence, and anyone with a general interest in the topic, the book provides a child-centered perspective to revolutionize our understanding of how children are affected by coercive control-based domestic violence.

Understanding how Coercive Control affects our children. A must listen for all professionals in particular but also anyone who knows things aren’t right at home. If we can’t do it for ourselves, we have to do it for them.

Stuff we really need to understand

I am listening very avidly.. This professor, Emma. Katz has explained the reality of coersive control in a way I never realised.... BUT the NARRATOR is awful... A sickly sweet 1950s BBC type accent.... Why???... It completely and utterly undermines "women".... We are NOT this... Or what this voice represents... We are strong, not sugar coated. I have had to quicken the narration so it doesn't sound so bloody syrupy...! IT MATTERS.... this voice is totally WRONG.

Misogyny is Rife!... 97% of this behaviour is from men... An appalling reflection on our society...
