The Abuse of Men - An Enquiry into the Adult Male Experience of Heterosexual Abuse - Paperback

$12.43

This study explores the nature and extent of abuseagainst men, how they are affected by it, and the social structures which enable the abuse to occur. My hypotheses were that the pain men experience as victims of female abuse is of such a magnitude that they are often unable to bear it, and also that there is a widespreadprejudice against men which works against a just resolution in situations of heterosexual conflict.The origins of the bias against men lie in certain p...

The Abused and the Abuser: Victim-Perpetrator Dynamics - Paperback

Even when separation from the long-term abuser is attempted, it may initially be extremely difficult to achieve, and there are some individuals who never achieve this pa...
