Abstract
Domestic violence is alarmingly prevalent, yet medical students, residents, and experienced physicians are often handicapped by insufficient knowledge and expertise in the diagnosis and care of these patients. This article reviews the epidemiology of domestic violence, highlights risk factors, discusses current obstacles in the diagnosis and treatment of domestic violence, identifies history taking and physical examination skills to increase diagnosis of this condition, and outlines treatment plans for victims.
