Webinar on MSc Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford
Programme leaders Drs Rod and Linda Dubrow-Marshall will discuss the unique MSc Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford
Join this special 60-minute webinar to learn more about the MSc Psychology of Coercive Control, the only dedicated and full masters programme on this subject in the world, which focuses on coercion, abuse and undue influence in intimate relationships (domestic abuse) and families, cults/extremist groups, human trafficking, gangs, workplaces and organised crime.
This fully distance learning programme (at the University of Salford, UK) was started in 2017 by Drs Rod and Linda Dubrow-Marshall because of the introduction of a law in 2015 (Serious Crime Act, Section 76, in England and Wales) which outlaws psychological abuse in the form of controlling and coercive behaviours in relationships and families, along with human trafficking and modern slavery laws which apply to cults, extremist groups and organised crime.
The Masters programme builds on these concepts by bringing in cutting edge research on coercive influence and focuses on the psychological effects of coercive control, how people exit from coercive and abusive relationships and groups, approaches to recovery and rehabilitation, the cultural and historical context for coercion and legal and policy responses across the world.
The MSc programme still has places for this coming September 2025 and can be studied over 1 or 2 years and consists of live lectures which are also recorded, interactive seminars, tutor support, loads of resources via a dedicated website and the opportunity to conduct ground-breaking empirical research in the capstone dissertation module. The programme has already had over 100 students from a wide diversity of countries across four continents, some of whom are existing professionals in the field and others who are looking to do work in this area where there is a huge need for more expertise and more research.
