Domestic Violence Screening and Intervention in Medical and Mental Healthcare Settings, 1st Edition

Primary care, psychiatric and mental health care, emergency department settings as well as subspecialties such as emergency rooms, ophthalmology, and infectious disease are considered.\nDomestic Violence Screening and Intervention in Medical and Mental Healthcare Settings 1st Edition is written by Mary Beth Phelan, MD; L.
