The Epidemic of Non-Fatal Strangulation
27.95
About the Course
The literature reports little research in examining strangulation related to Intimate Partner Violence or Sexual Assault, yet clinically, so much more is being learned. This important forensic video course carefully presents the dynamics of non-fatal strangulation related to domestic and rape situations. Because of the dynamics of excessive external pressure being placed on the individual's neck, the clinical history and presenting signs and symptoms often underrepresented the significance of injury to the individual. This comprehensive 2-hour course presents the significance of the problem, clinical evaluation, diagnostic requirements, and ongoing care. Additional resources are also available to the clinician.
