[Victims of harassment : Role of the primary care physician]

Caring for victims of harassment can be difficult. Different forms exist, some of which are difficult to detect. Every general practitioner must pay attention to the various warning signs that the victim may present. Careful, empathetic listening on the part of the general practitioner is necessary to take care of these victims. An important place in the consultation is the medical report, which can be used later in a legal process. The general practitioner does not work alone, can count on other medical and non-medical partners. Victims of harassment are also supported by various associations.
