Domestic violence and health is one of the first indepth studies
within Britain to explore the issue of healthcare professionals'
attitudes towards women who are victims of domestic violence. There
is a growing interest by healthcare professionals and researchers
about the role of healthcare professionals in relation to domestic
violence. This book looks at the health experiences of women who
are victims of domestic violence and the responses to such injuries
by healthcare professionals. The author presents the results of an
indepth qualitative study, conducted within Britain, examining
domestic violence and health. Women who are treated medically
without any acknowledgement of the social, personal and
psychological aspects of their condition, are likely to re-present
with domestic violence-related injuries. The book includes chapters
that look at: current interest both nationally and internationally;
why women access health services; an examination of the physical
and non-physical effects of domestic violence; the range of
treatment options currently favoured by healthcare professionals
and the response of patients to them; differentiations in practice
between different health professionals; the impact of domestic
violence as a social issue on trends in medical training. These
issues are considered in light of debates about medicalisation, the
function of the sick role, and both biomedical/wound-led, and
holistic/person-led approaches to health provision. Key findings
are highlighted, and the author provides recommendations for good
practice. Domestic violence and health is essential reading for
public health administrators and policy makers, healthcare
professionals and feminist researchers, activists and advocates.
