Domestic Violence Prevention Act (the Act) in Taiwan has just celebrated its sixth anniversary on June 24[90bb] , 2005. The promulgation of this Act has turned Taiwan into the first country of civil law tradition with a specialized domestic violence law. In addition, aiming to provide sufficient protection to the less advantaged in a family unit, the Act shifts the burden of mandatory reporting upon medical personnel, social workers, educational workers and police officers. Among them, mandatory reporting for medical personnel, which is devised in Article 41 of the Act, is surrounded in controversy. Originating from Art. 18 and 36 of Child Welfare Act, mandatory reporting has proved to be efficient in identifying child abuse. A fully grown-up battered woman is no child, however-therefore, is it the best practice to mandate reporting, regardless of her disagreement? Besides, judging from the disadvantages of breaching the physician-patient privilege, and the potential infringement of battered women's autonomy-how shall these consequences be balanced against the public interests of combating domestic violence? The arguments of this article are mainly based upon the autonomy of battered women. Both the advantages and deficiencies of mandatory reporting policies concerning medical personnel are presented. In an effort to replace the current mono-dimensional mandatory policy, the author proposes a "Survivor-Centered Intervention Model". According to the Model, the state should encourage batted women to improve their situation by showing respect to their individualized plans of leaving the abusive relationships. Besides, in establishing a positive dynamics between the battered women and the state, the much-needed resource and information must be provided to battered women in order to reduce the potential danger they may encounter when leaving the relationships. Mandatory reporting that ignores the subjective wishes of battered women not only increases the danger of leaving the batterers, discourages battered women from receiving medical treatment, but also diverts the limited resource from focusing on cases of utmost emergence. Thus, a standardized procedure, including mandatory recording, for hospitals in treating victims of domestic violence is proposed in the hope of enhancing both the safety for battered women and their autonomy.
