The role of the physician in identifying and treating abused women
Indiana Med.
1990 Jul.
Abstract
The physician can identify abuse when probable or suspicious symptoms are presented. Interviewing and assessment techniques that help the patient disclose her abuse and make positive use of referral sources are discussed and illustrated. Identification of the abuse is the first step for most victims as they struggle toward social and psychological rehabilitation.
