Anke Horacek, MD; Emergency Medicine Physician; Omaha, Nebraska Domestic to Interpersonal Violence examines the course of how a domestic relationship becomes intimate partner violence over the lifespan of the victims and the potential impact it can have along the way. From pregnancy to fatality, domestic violence can impact women and the children who witness or experience domestic violence in the home by child maltreatment and intergenerational transmission of violence. The impact to the victims can include contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual assault, suicide, substance abuse, and other mental health deterioration such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and eating disorders. In the extreme forms, it leads to strangulation, head injuries, and eventually death. This volume highlights these dangers along with risk factors to intimate partner violence and barriers the victims face. Each chapter gives ways to intervene in hopes of changing the course of outcome for the women, children, and men living in their world of chaos and fear. Tracie L.
