This book, based on recent research, reveals the complex issues of identification and intervention with survivors of intimate partner abuse within in the health system. Editors Roberts, from University of QLD, and Hegarty from University of Melbourne.
A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services...
Many cancers, both common and rare, are known to have a hereditary predisposition and advances in genetics have clarified the risks and in some cases the mechanisms of cancer developing in an individual. First published in 1998, this important contribution to the literature of cancer genetics covers all the key issues, reviewing both the technology behind genetic risk assessment and the ethical dilemmas it poses. It is divided into two parts. The first deals with ethical, legal and social issues. The second systematically outlines current knowledge of the inheritance patterns of many different cancer types, both from a site-by-site perspective and for special groups. This authoritative volume will be of interest to oncologists, physicians and surgeons in other specialities and to health professionals in the areas of primary care, counselling and cancer risk assessment.

Expert editorial commentary on each section highlights different themes and methodological issues. The reader covers six main areas of research: O...
Designed to help students develop skills in evaluating research and conducting studies, this brief version of Rafael J. Engel and Russell K. Schutt’s popular, The Practice of Research in Social Work, makes principles of evidence-based practice come alive through illustrations of actual social work research. With integration of the CSWE Competencies, the text addresses issues and concerns common to the discipline and encourages students to address diversity and ethics when planning and evaluating research studies. The Second Edition includes a focus on qualitative research, a new chapter on research ethics, new sections on mixed methods research and community-based participatory research, and more.
This is a book about homeopathy: what it is, how it arose and developed, where it is today. It is a critical book but it presents its criticism from the standpoint of knowledge. Anthony Campbell was consultant physician at The Royal London Homeopathic Hospital (now The Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine) and is a past Editor of the British Medical Homeopathic Journal (now Homeopathy). No prior knowledge is assumed but that does not mean it is suitable only for beginners. Even if you have read a good deal about acupuncture you will probably find that you view it differently when you have finished.
