When dealing with violence within the family, in addition to laws and the doctrines of different professions, a crucial role is played by interaction among those involved. The author focuses on the role of language in this interaction, drawing attention to the process of identifying victims and the joint construction of a story by the victim and the expert; in doing so, she emphasises the subjectivity of the process of building understanding of a case, in which experts themselves are directly personally involved.
