Is This You? Researchers Are Looking for Men Who’ve Been Assaulted by an Intimate Partner

2008-01-05
By

A note from Jan Brown, founder of the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women:

“The Men’s Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research study at Clark University and is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology, is the lead researcher on this project.  She is conducting this project in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State College Department of Social Work, the Survey Center at the University of Southern Maine, and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women.

Our goal is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Extensive research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. This is an under-recognized problem in the United States, and by conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships, and their needs.

If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 59 and you have been physically assaulted at least one time in the last 12 months by a current or former intimate female partner you may be eligible to participate in this study.  If you are interested in participating, please call the DAHMW at 1-888-743-5754  or  email dahmwagency@gmail.com for information about the study and directions for participating.

    Dear emarel,

    Real research studies need limits and these are the limits that were set. The researchers and those who fund the research set those limits.
    If you want to know their and my “real agenda” you are welcome to call me.
    888-743-5754 Ask if you can speak to Jan.

  • emarel

    and why is the limitation limited to the past 12 months? I’d be tempted to contact these women, but, alas, those things I endured happened years ago, only ending almost four years ago when we divorced. If I did volunteer, though, I would first challenge them to reveal their agenda.

    Dear amfortas,

    As was said in the movie, “Field of Dreams, If you build it they will come.”
    The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (DAHMW) was created with the express purpose of filling the gap left by the traditional domestic violence shelter programs so we specialize in offering supportive services to men who are in intimate relationships with abusive women. Over the last seven plus years as word has spread of our services call volume has increased substantially.
    Men who call our confidential line are relieved to find domestic violence advocates who believe them and genuinely care and so they talk freely about the pain they suffer at the hands of their abusers.
    I know that it is much more difficult for men to speak about these situations. Partly because of societal taboo’s regarding men expressing their feelings and asking for help and also because dv is defined and presented to the public as something that men perpetrate against women.
    Male victims are still very much where female victims were back before the battered women’s movement, we still have a long way to go and many more stumbling blocks than battered women had in the beginning IMHO.
    Progress is slow but it is happening.

    Dear Dittohd,

    We know very well that men over 59 are victims and we receive
    calls from them also but for this particular study the
    cut off age to meet the criteria was 59.
    Hopefully, this study will open the doors for further
    research into abused men including those over 59.

    The whole concept of “Domestic violence” is a made up legal fiction.
    In common law, ie the “real law” we started with, a criminal act required an injured party! Now that is a real simple concept, where they have tried to convolute it and pervert it, is that they have tried to make the life and safety of one living soul, usually the women, more important than the life of another living soul , usually the man. As a result women get protection , men get accused, no matter if she attacked him, its always his fault!
    We need to go back to that simple common law, You harm someone and it does not make a bit of difference if it is a man or a woman. You have the lawfully required injured party and the offender needs to be punished.
    Do away with special protection, because not only is it wrong and unfair, it is against the constitution, ie the the 14th amendment . Therefore it is not lawful and since lawful superceeds legal, it is not legal either.
    We must require a corrupt legal system to obey the constitution
    As far as this study is concerned, I am all for it . Providing it is not a “show trial” to put men on the lineup( you know like the one they have down at the police station) That these ladies are honest and decent enough to tell the ugly and politically incorrect truth. Show the world that wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who the victim is.

    For every one chap reporting being assaulted, will they assume there are 432 who didn’t report? Or is that just the way female icebergs are distinguished from male ones?

    Seriously though, I doubt if there will be many men stepping forward, not because there are no chaps in the category but because chaps are demeaned if they do. It is only women who get the sympathy and the masses of public monies band-aided over their traumas; men get accused of bringing it upon themselves. Or maced.

    Despite the clear and easy to observe daily mistreatment of men by women, I hold out no hope whatsoever that female violence against men will ever get official or even academic recognition. The very idea that women may be different from the mendacious image pushed so hard by Government at all levels, Universities, NGOs and Lawyers, counsellors, Zozhal Verkers and the ilk will be rejected by anyone suggesting that they are not all sweetness and light … oh, and ‘victims’ of men, to boot. There is already a mass of agitProp propping up academic and political reputation such that vested interests will stymie any attempt at Truth rearing up.

    Denise and Emily must convince men that they don’t have an agenda that will stand men against the blame and vilification wall. It is a well known meeting spot, complete with tables, chairs and sun-umbrellas with coffee and martinis on tap, providing comforts for the hecklers and knitters. Their blurb doesn’t convince me. Is Madam LaFarge their secretarial support?

  • Dittohd

    Physical assault on men by spouses stops at age 59? Why this restriction? Are they afraid of finding out the truth in these cases because domestic violence against men over age 59 may be too much to handle and ultimately sweep under the rug?

    What are men over 59? Chopped liver? Do men over 59 switch from second to third-class citizens?







Right.

Man up.
