Family Violence: A Canadian Introduction
Family violence is hard for most people to understand. The fact that we are more likely to be killed or assaulted by family members than anyone else seems incredible. Yet for many Canadians the family is a dangerous place, far from the haven of love and security that we would like to believe.

The victims, the theories, and the factors increasing risk are all clearly presented. Policies and programs which would address this issue -- from personal intervention to institutional reforms -- are also outlined. This new edition incorporates up-to-date statistical information on the prevalence of family violence. It reports on recent initiatives to find more successful ways to respond to the needs of victims and to rehabilitate the perpetrators. This is the definitive Canadian book for anyone wanting to learn more about this disturbing phenomenon.

The Health Care Sector's Response to Woman Abuse
The purpose of this paper is to examine the health care sector's response to women who are abused by intimate male partners. The paper reviews woman abuse as a health issue and presents the findings of a survey of agencies, departments, and organizations that may respond to woman abuse. The analysis examines the findings both by types of activities as well as by the response to the woman abuse problem by sector (nursing, medicine, hospitals, public health, community health, occupational health, multicultural health, and First Nations health). The paper also makes recommendations for actions to improve the health care sector response to woman abuse, and includes details of national, provincial/territorial, and local initiatives being undertaken to address the problem.
