Men comprise 25-50% of all intimate partner violence victims in a given year yet there is little research focusing specifically on male victims of domestic violence, according to Denise Hines, a research assistant professor at Clark University.

Her recent study was the first to link Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to men who seek help after being abused by their female partner.

PTSD is a psychiatric condition that can follow the experience of a traumatic incident and the experience of intimate partner violence is generally considered to be a traumatic event, Hines said.

Her research study titled "Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Men Who Sustain Intimate Partner Violence" was published in the April issue of Psychology of Men & Masculinity.

In the video below, Hines talked with DadsDivorce.com editor Matt Allen about PTSD, "intimate terrorism" and what is preventing this issue from being as widely recognized as domestic violence against women.
