Presents discussions focussing on how to identify, intervene and prevent domestic violence. The book provides a general overview of domestic violence by defining what it is and how physicians fail to identify such instances. It provides guidelines on how to identify victims and perpetrators, the different types of abuse, what to do when addressing a victim, the legal issues involved and how to prepare for an optimal response. Ways of improving community awareness on the issue are also suggested.
