Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
It is practical and succinct! Very helpful for setting up an office or integrating a response into a practice. --David Schneider MD, UTHSCSA Center on Violence Prevention, University of Texas Health Sciences Center, San Antonio, TX
This book is written by two of the preeminent scholars and practitioners who care for victims of partner and family violence. Each has published widely and has created medical educational curricula that are currently implemented in various forms across the country. In this manual, they have provided the reader with succinct guidelines and practical tools for the management of abuse victims, who are identified through screening, when abuse is unsuspected, and when clinical presentations suggest the physical and psychological sequelae of abuse. --Bruce B. Ettinger, MD, MPH, Medical Consultant, Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, Los Angeles CA
Based on what we are rapidly learning about the impact of interpersonal violence on our child and adult patients, this text is a perfect solution for finding information and practical advice in one complete volume. As a pediatrician, I am grateful to the authors for including information about children. The materials on the included CD-ROM can save hours of time. A "must have" text. --Robert W. Block, MD, University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, Tulsa, OK
