Book Description
Explore methods and techniques that health care providers can use to treat battered women?more humanely and effectively! This vital book examines the role of health care in the struggle to combat domestic violence. It shows how physicians can?and should?respond to victims of domestic violence, shares the success of the Family Violence Prevention Project, discusses what healthcare providers need to know about elder abuse, examines primary care physicians? screening practices for female partner abuse, and looks at the way Emergency Department personnel perceive the results of intimate partner violence (IPV). It also shows how family planning clinics can become ?empowerment zones? of battered women living in a rural setting and assesses the success of the WomanKind Program?an integrated model of 24-hour health care response to domestic violence against women. Domestic Violence and Health Care: Policies and Prevention also: investigates the relationship between perceived barriers and screening practices explores attitudes toward mandatory domestic violence reporting inquires into what pregnant women who have been abused think about their partners and their relationships examines the difference between Mexican and American women?s perception of the severity of various acts of abuse discusses the efficacy of an IPV assessment form using icons rather than descriptions to better communicate with migrant/seasonal workers whose command of English is poor From the editors: ?We have learned that screening for domestic violence by itself is a powerful intervention and can make a significant difference in a woman?s life. It helps validate that there is no excuse for domestic violence and demystifies the belief that providers are a part of the problem and not part of the solution. We have also learned that the consequences of intimate partner violence are manifested in a range of health conditions as well as in increased overall costly health care utilization. Screening tools and proposed mechanisms for treatment and follow-up are available. The next step in this effort requires validation of the screening tools and evaluation of the interventions currently underway. The purpose of this book is to provide some insight into our current understanding of the role health care plays in recognizing and treating victims of domestic violence. We hope to contribute to the understanding of the complexities of the causes and consequences of domestic violence on the life of a woman, and to provide insight into ways to positively alter the health care system and provider behavior.?

Harvey Malachi 2:16 - Amplified Old Testament "For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment (his wife) with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit (that it may be controlled by My Spirit), that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly (with your marriage mate). Kathy Elliott I literally watched my mother being abuse all my childhood years and was determine to stay clear of abusive relationships; apparently, I follow directly into her footprints. Matter of fact, I didn't even follow in her footprints I fell right into her footprints, head first and everything else followed. Like they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Carol Sankar He smashed the window my brand-new car and refused to pay for it. He insisted that if I had not made him so mad that he would not have been forced to break my new car. At the time, I was still very naive, so I ended up paying for the damage myself. Tracy J Constant phone calls and hang ups from him or other women; outbursts in front of my daughter, frightening her; sexual assault/rape in which the very last time he did it was in an alley where he slammed me to the ground and caused me to tear a ligament in my knee. Conquering LION! Angrily, he took his pillow and blanket. As he walked away he accused me of sleeping with another man and stated he didn't want to catch anything from me. He turned and went down stairs and slept there."
