Abstract

Cultural and subcultural factors can have a marked impact upon reporting, assessment, and treatment of abuse and family violence. Values and beliefs associated with three specific rural situations--small towns, Native American reservations, and cliques of health professionals--are examined and case illustrations are presented. Recommendations are offered for refining assessment and treatment strategies in these settings.
