Men who say they have been sexually or physically assaulted by an intimate partner can suffer significant psychological trauma, US researchers say。

　　Anna Randle reviewed two decades of research involving domestic violence effects on men。

　　The review, published in the Psychology of Men & Masculinity, found men abused by their female partners can suffer significant psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicidal thoughts。

　　The National Violence against Women Survey, which surveyed 8,000 men and 8,000 women, in 1998, indicates 8 percent of men and 25 percent of women report being assaulted sexually or physically by an intimate partner。

　　However, research has shown severe under reporting of spousal or partner abuse of men, Randle says. For example, men are not as likely to report serious injuries due to abuse and psychological or less violent abuse is more likely to go unreported to authorities。

　　In addition, police are less likely to arrest female suspects accused of violence than males, Randle says。

　　"Given the stigma surrounding this issue and the increased vulnerability of men in these abusive relationships, we as mental health experts should not ignore the need for more services for these men," Randle says in a statement。

　　美国研究人员称来自伴侣的性侵犯和肢体暴力会给男性带来非常严重的心理创伤。

　　安娜•兰道尔撰写了一篇评论文章，回顾了过去二十年里关于家庭暴力对男性造成的影响的研究。

　　这篇刊登在《男性与男性心理》杂志上的评论文章称遭受过女性伴侣虐待的男性会患上严重的心理疾病，如创后应激障碍症，他们会变得压抑，甚至出现自杀的倾向。

　　1998年反家暴问卷调查分别采访了8000位男性和女性，结果显示8%的男性和25%的女性曾遭受过来自伴侣的性侵犯和肢体暴力。

　　兰道尔称这项调查得出的男性统计数据并不真实，因为男性在遭受家暴带来的肉体或心理创伤后一般不会公之于众。

　　她还表示同男性施暴者相比，警察不太可能逮捕女性施暴者。

　　兰道尔在一份声明中称，“现在越来越多的男性遭受到来自其伴侣的伤害，并且这种事情又不十分光彩，作为精神健康方面的专家，男性这方面的需求不容忽视。”
