Hi everyone,
A new edition of the Physicians Guide was published by Volcano Press, www. volcanopress.com, in April 2006. The new title, "Physicians Guide to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse: A Reference for All Health Professionals" reflects the fact that partner violence can affect intimate partners, regardless of whether they are married, divorced, separated, boyfriend, girlfriend, or "living together" couples.
In addition to an update of practical information to help anyone providing services to people impacted by intimate partner violence, the book contains several entirely new sections, written by experts in their field, including the following:
- Laws related to domestic violence for health professionals and their patients
- The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study
- Before it Occurs: Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence
Here are some testimonials:
- "An important book by two of the most noted physician experts on domestic violence and health, who understand that the health care system plays an important role in identifying and preventing intimate partner violence and abuse." Nancy Durborow, Health Projects Manager, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence
- "Dr. Salber and Dr. Taliaferro did it again--another must read for any professional working with victims of domestic violence." Casey Gwinn, JD, Co-Founder, San Diego Family Justice Center
- "This is absolutely the best book written to date on domestic violence for health providers, one that will enable them to screen for and recognize domestic violence, and know how best to refer and treat battered women. Health providers and their libraries should all have copies, as this book is state-of-the-art, compassionate, realistic, easy to read and implement." Joan Zorza, Esq. Editor, Domestic Violence Report & Sexual Assault Report
The first edition was widely read, not only by health care providers, but also by domestic violence advocates, and individuals whose lives are impacted by intimate partner violence. I hope you will find the new edition a valuable resource.
