دانلود کتاب Domestic Violence and Health: The Response of the Medical Profession

An exploration of the issue of domestic violence and health and an exploration of how women feel about their encounters with healthcare professionals. It raises a number of issues for professionals concerned with both policy implementation and practice. These issues include: the differentiation between physical and non-physical injuries; explanations of the causes of domestic violence proffered by both participant groups; an examination of the perceptions held by health care professionals in relation to women who present with domestic violence-related injuries; the uses and abuses of the medical record within the wider context of documentation and confidentiality; and the impact of wider help-seeking and multi-agency collaborations.
