Coercive control

An essential podcast on coercive control in domestic violence

Dr Andreea Gruev-Vintilă is a researcher in social psychology and HDR lecturer at the University of Paris Nanterre. She is internationally recognised for her work on domestic violence, gender stereotypes and social norms. In 2023, she published a key work entitled “Coercive control: at the heart of domestic violence”, which is helping to shape legislation and raise awareness around the world.

In this episode of the podcast “Un poing c’est tout”, Dr Gruev-Vintilă talks to Adrien Roland Boulogne. She explores in depth the concept of coercive control in the context of domestic violence, detailing the psychological mechanisms and social norms that make it a particularly insidious form of violence. In particular, she discusses the history of the development of this concept in the marital context, the legislative challenges and the far-reaching implications for victims.
