Professional Self-Positioning of Indian Social Workers in Response to Domestic Violence.

This article explores the self-positioning of Indian social workers who work with female survivors of domestic violence (DV). We know from previous research about the experiences of persons who have encountered DV, but more studies on the point of view of the professionals is needed. Relying on positioning theory and discursive analysis as a framework, we analyzed interviews ( = 18) concerning the practices, emotions, and attitudes of social workers.
