  • Médecine légale clinique

    Médecine de la violence - Prise en charge des victimes et agresseurs
    • 1st Edition
    • Éric Baccino
    • French
    La violence est devenue un thème majeur de préoccupation et de débat, non seulement dans les champs légal et social, mais aussi dans celui de la santé. Depuis janvier 2011 la France s'est dotée d'une organisation qui intègre dans les hôpitaux l'exercice de la médecine légale sous tous ses aspects. A côté de la médecine légale traditionnelle, celle qui s'occupe du cadavre (ou médecine légale thanatologique), la médecine légale clinique − médecine légale du vivant − occupe une place qui doit dès maintenant être considérée comme prépondérante en termes d'activité. Cet ouvrage est le premier à traiter la violence sous l'angle médical, en présentant la prise en charge clinique des victimes qui la subissent et celle des auteurs qui la commettent. Il permettra aux nombreux médecins confrontés à la violence de mieux en appréhender tous les aspects (médical, social et judiciaire) et d'être des acteurs efficaces si leur assistance est demandée.
