Oral History Study on Conflict in Family Life and Relationships in Scotland 1979-1992

My name is Ann Donaldson and I am carrying out an oral history study looking at people’s experience of conflict in their family, domestic life or relationships in Scotland between 1979 and 1992.

This research will be carried out in part fulfilment of a PhD degree at the University of Strathclyde. I am particularly interested in finding out more about what it was like living in a family where there was domestic conflict, how it affected people, how they coped and whether or not they sought or received any external help at the time or since. I am also interested in what it was like working with families in this situation.

During the period 1979-1992 were you,

Married, living with a partner or going out with someone and experienced conflict in your relationship?
a child/young person living with parents/step-parents/carers and experienced conflict in your domestic/family life?
Working with individuals or families where there was conflict?

If you can answer yes to one or more of the above questions and would like to know more about taking part in this oral history study please contact the researcher directly in confidence.
