Based on findings from a hermeneutic phenomenological study, this article provides a description and interpretation of barriers to healing that men encountered in the aftermath of childhood maltreatment. An analysis of interview data collected from 52 adult male survivors healing from childhood maltreatment identified a theme, Dwelling in Suffering, as representing the full range of barriers that impeded their healing. Subthemes of Dwelling in Suffering Personally, Relationally, and Social-Environmentally are discussed. This research highlights a complex understanding of the challenges men experience in healing from childhood maltreatment and the need for practice interventions and future research to ameliorate men's suffering.

“…A number of studies conducted with specific population groups yielded, as expected, higher MCSA prevalence rates than those conducted among the general population. For example, 39% of juvenile male sex offenders (Ryan et al 1996); 59% of male inmates in a U.S. county jails (Johnson et al 2006); 76% of serial rapists (McCormack et al 1992); and 26% to 38% of male psychiatric patients reported experiencing CSA (Bernstein et al 1997;Jacobson and Herald 1990).…”

Male Child Sexual Abuse: A Phenomenology of Betrayal

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Being deeply understood relies on the ability of the social work clinician to have authentic and genuine empathy for their client. This phenomenological study sought to understand the lived experience of men sexually abused as boys in their childhood, and what life is like for them as sexual abuse survivors in adulthood. Analyses of fourteen male survivors' narratives into the abuse they experienced as children, and the meaning they make of that experience today, offer insights for therapists. Findings suggest that therapists have a responsibility to ask male clients about sexual victimization, even when this is not the presenting problem but they exhibit sexual abuse related problems; an obligation to educate one's self on responding therapeutically to disclosure; a duty to receive training to counsel sexually victimized males; a responsibility to advocate for the development of men's services; and taking an active role in shifting attitudes towards men's vulnerabilities.

“…Nevertheless, a large body of research has documented many adverse psychological and social outcomes of child abuse and neglect among adult survivors [19,28,33], including substance abuse [34], crime [35], and mental health problems [36].…”

Gender differences in the relationship between mental health problems and childhood abuse have long been of interest to researchers. The purpose of the present study was to examine gender differences in the relationship between childhood abuse and mental health problems among 110 Israeli inmates (50 women and 60 men). The findings indicated that female inmates reported higher prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and were more likely to suffer from mental health problems, compared with the male inmates. Additionally, the findings revealed that more female than male inmates had parents with mental health problems. Female inmates who reported mental health problems in their families also reported higher rates of child abuse relative to male inmates with a similar family history.
