Madeline Mc Aleer in conversation with Sarah Harte

Madeline McAleer of Haven Horizons speaks to Irish Examiner columnist Sarah Harte about five seminal books on domestic abuse and coercive control books.  

Madeline is the Strategic Development Director at Haven Horizons – National Research and Knowledge Centre and a lecturer on the ‘Reflecting on and Responding to Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control’ programme at the Technological University of Shannon.

They discuss why victims find themselves in ‘invisible chains’ and examine why victims find themselves trapped in ‘invisible chains’ and explore ‘dangerous relationships and how they end in murder’. They also consider individual and cultural barriers to recognising and responding to coercive control and why a radical new approach is needed to prevent and eliminate domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse from society.
