Opening the Eyes of Counselors to the Emotional Abuse of Men: An Overlooked Dynamic in Dysfunctional Families
Gold, Joshua M.; Pitariu, Gabriela V.
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v43 n2 p178 Fall 2004
The authors suggest that counselors should expand their awareness of emotional abuse within heterosexual relationships, offering definitions of emotional abuse and statistics that confirm the victimization of men. The implications of this knowledge for counselors" personal growth and therapeutic practice are discussed. The statistics on the prevalence of the emotional abuse of men have only recently begun emerging. Although the behaviors themselves are now being recognized as worthy of study, the reporting of the rate of occurrences among men still remains incomplete. This article offers implications and advice for counselors who are counseling emotionally abused men.
