The abuse of men is still very much a taboo subject, so identifying older men who have been abused in childhood or adulthood can be very difficult. This paper discusses the problems in identifying older male victims by drawing on the findings of two research projects. Statistical evidence is presented regarding the victims and the abuse they have experienced. It is argued that in general resources are not readily available to facilitate disclosure or to help men through the healing process. An example of good practice is presented by discussing the work undertaken with an older man through group work.
男性遭受虐待在很大程度上仍是一个禁忌话题，因此要识别那些在童年或成年期遭受过虐待的老年男性非常困难。本文借鉴两个研究项目的结果，探讨了识别老年男性受害者时存在的问题。文中呈现了关于受害者及其所经历虐待的统计证据。文中指出，总体而言，方便受害者披露情况或帮助他们度过康复过程的资源并不容易获取。通过讨论与一位老年男性开展的小组工作，给出了一个良好实践的例子。
