Description
A response to the growing need for treatment of survivors of family violence. Offering a holistic approach to identification, assessment, intervention and prevention of domestic abuse, this book is designed to assist the healthcare professional to care for the victim as well as the family unit. By integrating theory and application, this book provides a practical resource for students and practicing nurses. It presents theories of violence, including historical, biological, psychological, sociological and anthropological perspectives. The nurse's role in the legal ramifications of family abuse in cases involving abused women and children is explained and the book explores the role of the police officer in dealing with abused women and children, encouraging a more co-operative effort on the part of law officers and nurses. There is expanded coverage of cultural and religious considerations, values clarification and women's violence towards men and other women. Summaries that outline key concepts at the end of each chapter are provided and the text integrates the lifespan clinical experience of both authors into the text, providing a broad background of information.
