The collaboration of SUPSI's Applied Psychology Competence Center with the Unité de Médecine des Violences (UMV) of the University Hospital Center of the Canton of Vaud (CHUV) began with the research Victims of Domestic Violence: How to Recognize Them in the Emergency Room, but it did not end with the research and training offered to doctors and nurses in the emergency rooms of the Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC).
The Applied Psychology Competence Center met with Dr. Romain-Glassey, head of the Romanian unit, along with the head of nursing, Ms. Valérie Asal, to produce an interview to be presented as part of the conference What Kind of Violence, Getting to Know and Accommodating Victims of Domestic Violence in the Professional Setting.
The video helps to understand the work of UMV by also showing the spaces in which they operate and their organization. In the interview conducted for the research Victims of domestic violence: how to recognize them in the emergency room carried out by the Applied Psychology Competence Center, Dr. Romain-Glassey reiterated the delicacy and complexity of taking in victims, a taking in which touches several areas. As Dr. Romain-Glassey herself said, "...domestic violence is a very complex issue. It is complex because there is on the one hand the health point of view with the somatic problems, of the psychological problems, but there are also systematically medico-legal problems."
