The Techniques for Encountering Victims of Domestic Violence in the General Outpatient

Victims of domestic violence may be suffer from both physical threats and psychological trauma, leading them to consult general practitioners for a wide range of physical and psychological problems. When encountering victims of domestic violence, general practitioners need to identify patients timely, fully assess and properly deal with their conditions. But in clinical practice, general practitioners often choose to ignore or simply refer such patients because of many problems such as difficulty in starting, lack of asking skills and proper handling methods. Based on the analysis of domestic violence cases, this paper discusses the techniques that contribute to the use of patient-centered method and bio-social-psychological model in carrying out diagnosis and treatment activities. This fully reflects the value of general practitioners and extends the concept of family-based treatment.
