Male Partner Abuse

In a natural survey conducted in England, women reported higher rates of intimate partner violence than men, whether the violence was physical or emotional (Jonas et al., 2014). Intimate partner violence among college students appears to be similar to research on adult married and cohabiting couples. A five-year longitudinal study of more than 2,000 college students in the United States showed that twenty-six percent of college students experienced physical intimate partner violence in their freshman year (Nabors & Jasinski, 2009). As a college student and friend of many, I believe that it is important for me become more knowledgeable about intimate partner violence and know about the characteristics of an abuser. There are four types or characteristics

The hypothesis/theory for the article “Emotion Regulation and Intimate Partner Violence in Newlyweds” was that the variability in negative effect is associated with IPV perpetration. This hypothesis was tested by using specific questionnaires, recruitment processes and eligibility requirements. The overall goal of the study was to examine what kind of role emotional regulation would have in regards to IPV perpetration. In this experiment they chose to operationalize emotion regulation as the variation in negative affect observed over a 7-day diary. They chose to examine these issues within a sample of newlywed couples due to the fact that newlywed couples wouldn’t be 100% adapted to the marriage lifestyle.

The key goals to this research is to improve the awareness of the issue of male abuse and increase the resources and community support. This research aims to increase the awareness of the issue of male abuse by assisting in changing the thought process of individuals to include males as victims. Through this change, males will no longer be marginalized when they admit and report the various types of abuse they encounter. Furthermore, through this research, there is expectation that the increased awareness will in turn create resources and community support such as shelters and support centres predominantly for men. All in all, the main goal is for society to have complete gender equitable laws that include both men and women as victims.

There are large volumes of academic literature, media articles, support groups, government reports and interviews which revolve around domestic and family violence. However, the vast majority of these materials focus predominantly on female victims and male perpetrators. This is subsequently shown through the few support services available to male victims, minimal acknowledgement from the public, frequent persecution of all males as perpetrators, and the neglect from both government and media bodies. Further implications occur through the undermining and isolation of genuine male victims- which lead to other issues such as parental alienation, substance abuse and suicide. This research proposal explores the relationship between online resources- including domestic violence support services, government reports, multimedia and news stories- and male victims of domestic and family violence. The collaboration of these sources will show that the media does influence the actions of the community, and can detrimentally impact male victims- particularly in regards to their associated stigmas.

When speaking about domestic violence the picture that comes to mind is that of a man physically abusing a woman. Domestic violence manifests itself in other forms other than physical abuse. Domestic abuse can also take other forms like emotional, psychological and sexual abuse. Recent statistics show that domestic abuse against men is also on the rise (Cook, 2009). This can be argued in two ways: that it always existed but only till recently men have been able to come out and report cases of abuse by their spouses without feeling victimized and that previously men were seen as the superior gender and the women’s role was to be submissive but with the

This literature focuses on the quality of life of women that had the courage to leave physically abusive relationships. The women of this study sought refuge after leaving physically abusive relationships. In order to collect data, the researchers randomly selected 212 female participants to be interviewed. Many of the women revealed in the interview that they experienced health issues such as headaches and chronic stomach pains. In addition to physical ailments, the article revealed that many of the women encountered instances of high anxiety and depression. The women admitted that the mental and physical illnesses that they were experiencing contributed to their low quality of life. The article concludes that women that seek assistance

My theory is Chris is overlooking the fact Mia is coming from an abuse relationship and he is expecting her to open an engage in a conversation with him in a few sessions. Chris is also overlooking the fact Mia is living in a shelter due to having to leave an abusive relationship. Chris is viewing Mia has a woman who is stressed out because of her situation and is in need of a good emotional outlet. At this point in her life Mia may not be in a place where she feels comfortable talking to a man let alone engaging in an emotional conversation. Chris person-centered interventions may not be a good intervention to use with Mia given her situation. Chris appear to really rely on this intervention which may be making Mia feel more uncomfortable.

Domestic violence by definition is a violent or aggressive way of being within the confines of the home; in most occasions it is typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner. There are various cues that display an abuse relationship; domestic violence is just the definition of the type of abuse itself. Abusive individuals that are most likely to commit domestic violence actions are said to need to feel in charge of the relationship. They will make decisions for you and the family and want to be made aware of everything going on so to make a decision, abusers want to tell you what to do, and expect you to obey without questions. People that commit domestic violence aren’t necessarily bad people, they might have the belief that since they went through it as a child, it is but their right to want to instill the same type of order in their homes.

The two types of abuse I will be looking at will be physical and Emotional/Psychological abuse as they both differ from each other. I will be looking at two different case studies where one will be looking at the physical abuse and then the other case study will be different and look at the emotional/psychological abuse.

Abuse occurs when people mistreat or misuse other people, showing no concern for their integrity or intent worth as individuals. There are different types of abuse, examples are, family abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse. On average, most children that grow up in an abusive home are most likely to become abusive towards their spouse and or kids. Family abuse can be the worse because it affects the whole family. Emotional abuse affects the inside and that can be mentally damaging. Most of the time, neglect abuse is not always intentional. It’s caused by inexperienced parents not knowing how to raise the child. This paper, will focus on the affects domestic abuse has on children.

Are physically, emotionally, and socially developmental issues a direct relation to a child who witnesses abuse in his/her home at a young age?

Through examination, I found out how sexual abuse can affect the several ladies I know in multiple ways. First, a magnitude of the girls end up in abusive relationships. Second, a few of the young ladies got pregnant in their teenage duration. In the light of these affects, all of them feel like they can't control their sexual behavior anymore. Overwhelmed my temptation, they usually yield to a sexual relationship. From my experience, I have become very passionate about this topic, which is why I am immersed in researching it more.

Many women and men seek intimate relationships in order to fill their emotional needs of security, safety and love. Their journey starts off with their loved ones spoiling them with flattering gifts and emotional words. The love they feel is so wonderful and deep that they believe that nothing can come between them. They are so happy and convinced that they will live happily ever after with the one they love. Unfortunately, the fairytale they have dreamt about was only temporary and soon comes to an end. The love story they have ones longed for turns into a horrible nightmare. The emotional words, they were once spoiled with turn into howling screams and name-calling. The flattering gifts turn into physical abuse. This relationship is referred to as domestic violence or intimate partner violence. This happens when a partner or significant other declares power, authority and control over the other partner. To maintain this authority and control, the abusive partner uses emotional, physical or sexual abuse over his victim (Alters 27). Victims will desperately look for an exit out of this relationship, but only to be blocked by numerous walls of the despair, fear and misery. Many people are convinced that victims have the option of leaving, but they are too weak and they choose not to. What many people don 't know is, victims of domestic violence have many reasons preventing them from leaving their abusers. In most cases the outcomes of leaving are very fatal, this is why many

People usually wonder how the other half of the world lives. The video, “Scene it,” initially appeared to seem as a harmless video. A viewer initially may expect and anticipate it to be merely an average, typical day of someone's life. However, the video results to take an unexpected turn. The woman in this video goes home from having a joyful and delightful day just to encounter domestic violence given to her by her significant other (Citation). It is devastating to witness such an event. Any type of domestic violence or abuse should not be tolerated or endured.

Abusive and emotional abuse was the main concern as well as substance abuse issues. My aunt got married and her husband seemed great at the time, at least to me but to others, he was worth nothing. After time went on, their family started changing because of his ways of going about life. Like every relationship, they fought. Simple arguments here and there but eventually his temper would get out of control. During the fights, he would mentally and emotionally drain her while eventually turning this anger into
