In her comprehensive systematic literature review, Tamara Wild analyses current support services for pregnant women affected by domestic violence. She shows that these are mainly medical services, although social work could make a decisive contribution to protection against and emancipation from violence through political action and the creation of structural conditions. The author develops differentiated recommendations for action for social work professionals, ranging from the implementation of screening tools to interdisciplinary cooperation, and invites them to rethink the potential of social work and to provide better support for those affected.
