Summary:

This edited book translates research into practice by examining the intersection of family violence and health. Specifically, this volume looks at the health care needs of people who have experienced abuse and subsequently have related chronic diseases and conditions. As part of the American Psychological Association Division 38 (Health Psychology) Application and Practice in Health Psychology Series, this book broadly summarizes research and clinical cases and offers practical suggestions to psychologists working in various health care settings. Chapter contributors carefully examine the implications for clinical practice as well as the special needs of children with disabilities, elders, and women.
