Spousal or Partner Abuse- |
Around
the world at least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced
into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Most often the
abuser is a member of her own family. Ending violence against women, a report from the Center for Communications Programs, Johns Hopkins University |
Approximately

by an intimate partner each year. Center for Disease Control |
Children who witness domestic violence are

run away from home, engage in teenage prostitution and commit
sexual assault crimes. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services |

I keep looking back on my practice, wondering how many of my patients have been victims of spousal and partner abuse; how much I have missed.

assessment,
detection, and
intervention strategies including
community resources,
cultural factors,
substance abuse,
same gender abuse dynamics,
and
