Abstract

Many women who experience intimate partner violence seek the expertise of psychologists to support their healing. However, there is a gap in the research about what women want from their psychologists. We interviewed 20 women survivors who had seen psychologists. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we constructed three themes: see all of me, see me for my expertise, and don't impose an agenda on me. We found that often psychologists acted as experts imposing their own agendas, rather than supporting survivors to make their own decisions. We discuss this in relation to the link between knowledge and power through dominant social science discourses and explore how resistance to this dominant discourse was taken up by many women.

谁的专业知识最重要？女性幸存者与心理学家相处的经历。

许多经历过亲密伴侣暴力的女性都会寻求心理学家的专业知识来帮助她们治愈创伤。然而，关于女性希望从心理学家那里得到什么的研究还存在空白。我们采访了 20 位曾经看过心理医生的女性幸存者。通过反思性主题分析，我们构建了三个主题：看到我的全部、看到我的专长、不要把议程强加给我。我们发现，心理学家常常以专家的身份强加自己的议程，而不是支持幸存者做出自己的决定。我们通过占主导地位的社会科学话语，结合知识与权力之间的联系对此进行了讨论，并探讨了许多女性是如何抵制这种占主导地位的话语的。
