Battered Men: A Different Perspective
Check out a national blogtalkradio interview I did on "wellness for the real world with Dr. Veronica Anderson". This interview included several contributors from academicians, authors, family lawyers, therapists and male victims. We discuss the change in popular belief about violence and the increased awareness of males who are victims of violence. This was done in a way that does not diminish the seriousness of female victims, but increases the understanding and experiences of male victims. My specific segment focused primarily on types of violence and the more recent finding that situational couple violence (where both partners are violent with each other) leads to more injury than violence where there is only one perpetrator.
