Helping male victims of sexual abuse.
The author recounts his experience of working in an extra care psychiatric unit in which a proportion of the male attenders had been subject to sexual abuse as children. While there is a paucity of literature on the subject of male sexual abuse, his experience of looking after victims suggests that many commonalities with female sexual abuse survivors exist. A model is presented as guidance for practitioners in helping men who have suffered sexual abuse as children.
