| Notes: | The author discusses how general practitioners respond to women who experience violence from their partners. He argues that while general practice offers an accessible and confidential forum for disclosure, there are many barriers to communication about intimate partner violence. Studies show that doctors can facilitate disclosure with a few simple questions and can improve their response by validating the experience of domestic violence, affirming its unacceptability, expressing support and offering relevant referrals. |
