Introduction -- Narrative : theoretical background -- Domestic violence and the role of general practice : a narrative-analytic approach -- Signs of abuse : "classic" disclosures and narrative trajectories -- Setting the scene of abuse : metaphors and spatiotemporal mapping -- Mythologizing time, mythologizing violence : backgrounds and explanations of domestic abuse -- Agents of their own victimization : the women's role in the GPS' narratives -- Evaluating abuse : storied knowledge and salient facts -- Conclusion.
Summary: Globally, at least one in four women experiences domestic violence at some point in her life, according to World Bank figures, which are confirmed by local surveys throughout the world. Since domestic violence can cause both acute physical injuries and long-term chronic illness, an abused woman is likely to appeal to a family doctor or general practitioner as one of her first resources for help.
