“…In contrast to other psychiatric disorders, there are inherent sex biases related to trauma exposure type and the pathophysiology of PTSD. For example, females tend to be overrepresented in civilian cases of PTSD as a result of intimate partner violence and/or rape [Laskey et al, 2019], whereas males are significantly overrepresented in studies of combatexposed PTSD [Lehavot et al, 2018]. Still, a US epidemiology study of PTSD revealed significantly higher prevalence in past-year and lifetime PTSD in female versus male veterans (past year: 11.7% vs. 6.7%; lifetime: 13.4% vs. 7.7%) and civilians (past year: 6% vs. 2.6%; lifetime: 8% vs. 3.4%) [Lehavot et al, 2018].…”

Sex differences are found in the incidence and expression of psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions, and many studies suggest these differences are influenced by innate biological differences between males and females and risk factors that interact with these differences. However, few studies have used neuroimaging to examine brain signatures of disease separately by sex, and many studies of sex differences have been based on small samples and their findings have not been replicated in larger cohorts. Large-scale neuroimaging initiatives such as the Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analyses (ENIGMA) consortium, the UK Biobank, Human Connectome Project, and others offer an unprecedented source of power to address important questions about the role of sex as a risk or protective factor for suboptimal brain health, as well as sex-specific neuroimaging phenotypes in brain-related illnesses. Here we review the existing neuroimaging literature on sex differences in the human brain in healthy adults and those with the most common and debilitating psychiatric and age-related neurodegenerative conditions. Finally, we discuss key gaps in this literature and opportunities of large-scale collaborative efforts to identify, characterize, and explain how biological sex influences the humanbrain in health and disease.

“…Men have also stressed that they feel inclined to stay with abusive partners to remain with and protect their children (Bates, 2019c), as, again, there is little provision available which allows them to remove both themselves and their children away from abusive settings (Mankind Initiative, 2020). Studies also demonstrate that stigma is experienced by men reporting same-sex DVA (Calton, Cattaneo, & Gebhard, 2016;Laskey, Bates, & Taylor, 2019), which is represented in their negative experiences of help-seeking (Donovan & Barnes, 2019), including reporting to law enforcement (Finneran & Stephenson, 2013), and the difficulty they face in accessing services (Stiles-Shields & Carroll, 2015). Taken together, such studies explain why men report that being recognised as victims is of the utmost importance to them in their help-seeking EXPERIENCES SUPPORTING MALE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE 7 journeys, and is the foundation on which all other help, support and access can be achieved (Wallace, Wallace, Kenkre, Brayford, & Borja, 2019a).…”

“I Have Guys Call Me and Say ‘I Can’t Be the Victim of Domestic Abuse’”: Exploring the Experiences of Telephone Support Providers for Male Victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse

While previous studies have begun to provide evidence on the experiences of male victims of domestic violence and abuse (DVA), current understanding in this area is still limited, and subject to narrow methods of inquiry. Moreover, little is known regarding the challenges of providing support to men in abusive relationships, and how barriers to effective service engagement are experienced by both men and service practitioners. This is an important area for exploration, as the gender-specific experiences and needs of men have been historically overlooked within academic research and service provision. The present study therefore had two principal aims: first, to provide more detailed information regarding the nature and context of abuse toward, and help-seeking experiences of, male victims, and second, to explore the experiences of those supporting abused men. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four call handlers at a U.K. domestic abuse charity supporting male victims. Transcribed interviews were subjected to thematic analysis, revealing a superordinate theme of stereotypes and expectations of men which affected all the other three overarching and eight subthemes, including those detailing the range and severity of abuse suffered, the role of family and friends, barriers to reporting for abused men, and challenges in supporting them. Implications for services working with male victims of DVA are discussed: centered around the need for recognition, increased awareness, increased resourcing, and the provision of gender-inclusive services catering for the gender-specific needs of men.

“…Further scholarship should continue to draw on victims' experiences, and broadly consider the needs of a diverse group of survivors of different types of abuse. Although this study focused on women, as Laskey et al (2019) have suggested, future work should attend more carefully to male survivors and those from the LGBTQ+ community to avoid marginalizing those groups of IPV survivors. Following the work of Storer et al (2018), future research should take into account phenomenological narratives from survivors and provide recommendations for the application of those findings directly to clinical and advocacy practice.…”

The Forgotten Survivor: The Articulated Needs of Survivors of Psychological and Economic Abuse Who Stay

Despite improvements, extant research and praxis has not yet given sufficient attention to nonphysical forms of intimate partner violence, including psychological and economic abuse. Furthermore, interventions for survivors (from clinicians, helpline workers, and other types of domestic violence advocates) are heavily geared toward needs associated with leaving an abusive relationship. Therefore, victims of nonphysical abuse who intend to stay in the relationship are tending to be overlooked. Based on in-depth interviews with 20 women who were experiencing psychological and economic abuse and intended to stay in the relationship, this study identified six unmet needs among that population: (1) to identify the causes of the current abusive situation; (2) to understand the effects of abuse; (3) to de-escalate hostility and talk through issues calmly and without blame, judgment, or accusation; (4) to explain to a social support team the decision to remain in the relationship; (5) to develop an individualized plan of action to address the abuse; and (6) to share advice with others in similar situations. Based on these needs, recommendations for future scholarship and praxis are offered.
