dc.description.notesRecent research has demonstrated the high prevalence of domestic violence and the physical and psychological consequences associated with it, bringing survivors into contact with the health system. However, the health system’s failure to identify and manage survivors appropriately has required new ways of addressing these issues. This book, based on recent research, reveals the complex issues of identification and intervention for domestic violence survivors within the health system.<br/ ><br/ >Edited by Australians, Gwenneth Roberts (public health researcher), Kelsey Hegarty (general practitioner) and U.K. general practitioner, Gene Feder, it has been written by international practitioners and researchers from a range of disciplines within the health care system.<br/ ><br/ >The book is divided into three sections. The first addresses History and Background:, including definitional issues.<br/ ><br/ > * identifying and overcoming barriers to disclosure, including addressing issues as to whether screening should be introduced and<br/ >Finally the authors call for educational programs and system change that can substantially improve health practitioners’ identification and management of abused women. An argument is made for further research into the effectiveness and appropriateness of universal screening in health care settings or targeting of specific groups, such as pregnant women.en
