Abstract
We found a high lifetime prevalence of different forms of violence toward women in our sample. Perpetrators were most often male family members, highlighting the impact of domestic violence. Our study provides evidence that women who attend a psychosomatic unit should be cautiously screened for a potential history of traumatic violent experiences.
