Abstract

Purpose:This paper explores experiences of intimate partner violence and support that was received among midlife and older male survivors. The objectives were to identify risk factors, barriers to help seeking and to promote the need for trauma focused care and inclusivity in service provision.Methods:Although 12 mid-life to older men from across the UK were interviewed individually about their experiences of surviving female perpetrated intimate partner violence, this paper focuses upon the experiences of one participant. A narrative method was used to analyse the data.Results/Finding:The narrative analysis of one participant is presented and implications discussed. Male survivors are often disbelieved by professionals and automatically assumed to be the perpetrator of IPV. This is echoed in limited service provision which increases the risk of homelessness, mental health problems and isolation.Conclusions:Counselling Psychologists will benefit from considering their own biases, including questions about IPV in all assessments that they undertake and educating service providers about the need for support.
幸存者故事:女性虐待亲密伴侣的经历以及中年和老年男性幸存者的求助
目的:本文探讨了中年和老年男性幸存者的亲密伴侣暴力和支持经历。目标是确定风险因素、寻求帮助的障碍,并促进对创伤护理的需求和服务提供的包容性。方法:虽然来自英国各地的12名中年到老年男性被单独采访,了解他们幸存的女性实施亲密伴侣暴力的经历,但本文主要关注一位参与者的经历。采用叙述方法对数据进行分析。结果/发现:提出一位参与者的叙述分析,并讨论其影响。男性幸存者往往不被专业人士相信,并自动被认为是IPV的肇事者。提供的服务有限也反映了这一点,这增加了无家可归、精神健康问题和孤立的风险。心理学家将受益于考虑他们自己的偏见,包括在他们进行的所有评估中关于IPV的问题,并教育服务提供者关于支持的必要性。
