Abstract
This book explores the issue of healthcare professionals' attitudes towards women who are victims of domestic violence. There is a growing interest by healthcare professionals and researchers in the role of healthcare professionals in relation to domestic violence. The 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 in-depth 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 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, and 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.
