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.
Responding to the growing number of psychologically-informed
services for people experiencing social exclusion and, in
particular, homelessness, this book gives professionals the
information and understanding they need to be fully informed in
their practice with this client group. It begins with theory,
looking at the psychology of social exclusion and the processes
that underlie it, and considers the relationship between trauma,
complex needs, homelessness and social exclusion. Presenting
practical interventions and case studies, the authors then reveal
what makes an effective service in practice and a client
perspective on social exclusion and recovery is provided. This is
essential reading for all those involved in developing services
that meet the needs of socially excluded people with histories of
complex trauma or presentations of complex needs, including those
who are homeless, refugees and asylum seekers, Traveller and Roma
communities and people involved with the criminal justice system.
Intimate Partner Sexual Violence (IPSV) is the most common type of
sexual violence and a common component of domestic violence, yet
most cases go unreported and service responses are often
inadequate. This book brings together advice for all those
professionals working with individuals who have experienced IPSV
and puts forward recommendations to tackle this prevalent form of
sexual violence. With contributions from leading experts on IPSV,
Intimate Partner Sexual Violence is a comprehensive guide to the
subject which bridges the gap between research and practice.
Multidisciplinary and international in approach, the book covers
key issues salient to all professionals - the impact of IPSV,
reproductive coercion, the physical and psychological indicators,
possible consequences of taking a case to court, and best practice
service responses. One section also addresses the risks and needs
of IPSV victims in different contexts, such as those in same-sex or
teenage relationships, immigrant victims, and those living in rural
areas or in prison. This is an authoritative resource for all
professionals who work with IPSV victims including counselors,
social workers, refuge workers, victim advocates, mental health
professionals, pastoral workers, lawyers, police, and health
practitioners.
