En savoir plus sur le livre
Violence against women is a pervasive global issue encompassing domestic violence, sexual abuse, trafficking, and harassment in various settings, including workplaces and healthcare. The mental health consequences for abused women can be severe, leading to conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and dissociative disorders. Despite this, the impact of violence on mental health has been largely overlooked in psychiatry and psychotherapy. This comprehensive overview presents current evidence linking violence against women to mental health outcomes, authored by experts in the field. It explores the prevalence, nature, and causes of violence against women across different regions and discusses the implications for mental health policies and programs. The book aims to foster discussion and debate, encouraging proactive measures in both medical and political arenas. It is an essential resource for therapists and clinicians in psychiatry, psychosomatics, general medicine, and gynecology, as well as a vital reference for sociologists and policymakers.
