Abstract: 

The Institute of Medicine had the misfortune to release their long awaited report, “Confronting Chronic Neglect: The Education and Training of Health Professions on Family Violence” (edited by Felicia Cohn, Marla E. Salmon & John D. Stobo, National Academy Press, 2001) on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. The author of this article, a discussion of the report, was as a result one of the few people present at the press conference.
