This handbook provides a timely synthesis of the international literature that investigates men's experiences of intimate partner violence and help seeking behavior, and considers what the findings mean for research, practice, and policy.
Providing the reader with a synthesis of cutting-edge knowledge, this book draws together a wealth of information from leading international researchers and practitioners working in the field of men's victimization in intimate relationships. By including chapters that address a diverse range of men's experiences and needs, it offers an accessible format for the reader to learn about the experiences of underrepresented groups of men across the world and how this knowledge can shape practice, policy, and future research.
The Routledge Handbook of Men's Victimisation in Intimate Relationships will be of great use to postgraduate students (including training psychologists, psychiatrists, medics, barristers/attorneys, social workers, probation officers, doctors, and nurses); academics, researchers, and professionals working in areas of family violence law, practice, policy and service provision.
