Abstract

This article addresses controversies in the field over LGBTQ intimate partner violence by describing the scope of the problem, employing both the traditional feminist paradigm and poststructuralist feminist theoretical approach to frame the problem, and, lastly, provide suggestions for advancing the field using interdisciplinary theories and methods. Implications for the field, policy, and treatment of victims and perpetrators of LGBTQ intimate partner violence are discussed.

It is important to note that there are various strands of poststructuralist feminist theory that attend to multiple facets of social life, identity, and subjectivity (e.g. Seidman 1996; Butler 1990; Mohanty 1988). However, we do not engage in these theorizations, consequences, or critiques (see Friedman 1991; Beste 2006; Coleman 2009) due to the limited focus of this article. Rather we apply a poststructuralist feminist theoretical approach to understanding and framing systemic arrangements of power in society in extending the power and control model of traditional feminist paradigm in the field of IPV.
