Husband Abuse
This paper raises questions about the complex and controversial issue of men who are abused by their intimate partners. It examines three sources: research on husband abuse and gaps in knowledge about this issue; studies in which abused men describe their experiences; and conversations with representatives from about 40 family violence treatment programs and men's issues groups. The paper reviews how husband abuse is defined, the evidence for husband abuse, criticisms of community survey studies related to husband abuse, issues related to the extent of the husband abuse problem, the effects and nature of husband abuse, comparisons with abused women, perceptions of husband abuse by Canadian family violence intervention practitioners, what abused men do in reporting and seeking assistance, and where abused men go to get help. Finally, policy implications of the research are discussed.
