| Summary |
"GPs and GP registrars will find Family Violence in Primary Care an invaluable and empowering resource. It brings together a broad range of expertise and opinion from relevant specialities and disciplines and sets family violence in its historical, epidemiological and societal context. The three main sections of the book describe the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse, and suggest ways forward for prevention and early detection. It draws throughout on the experience of GPs, health visitors and social workers, providing safe and workable guidelines."--BOOK JACKET |
