Product Description

Since the first edition of Male Victims of Sexual Assault was published in 1992 there have been significant developments in our understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of the sexual assault of men. The first edition was influential in affording legal recognition to male victims of rape in England and Wales and this has resulted in raised awareness of the problem and improved attitudes among all those responsible for dealing with the victims. This recognition has gone some way to breaking down the taboo, and has allowed the discussion to move on and address the important issues of prevention, care and treatment. The book reports on the first epidemiological study of male sexual victimization in Europe, challenges the prevailing stereotype of gay men as sexual predators, covers the topic of male rape in prisons, examines the link between early sexual victimization and later perpetration, describes how victims of sexual torture attempt to process and resolve such experiences, provides the historical and anthropological background to the subject, and examines the impact of the changes in legislation. Mezey and King are experienced forensic psychiatrists with longstanding interests in domestic and sexual violence. They present original research material, which makes a unique contribution to our knowledge about men's experiences of sexual victimization.

3.0 out of 5 stars informative, April 13 2008

By Jeffery Mingo - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Male Victims of Sexual Assault (Paperback)

I recently read about the sexual abuse of adult males alone and am about to read a book about the abuse of male minors. This book was interesting in that it spoke of both age groups. This may be the usual trend on this topic.
This is a British-produced book, but it relies heavily on American studies and sources. Perhaps more research has been done on this side of the pond.
I thought the list of chapters was quite thorough. Most of the chapters are easy enough to read. The book is not for psychology majors only. It also doesn't give numerous, graphic accounts of abuse. I do think psychology majors would finding the studies in here useful to quote for term papers.
As this book is more than a decade old, other writers may have expounded upon the topic. Still, this book was a laudable starting point.
