Victims of abuse

Dear Editor,

I was pleased to read the interview with Dr Diane Langberg (en November 2022). I admire the work that Dr Langberg has done and do not disagree with anything she said.

I am concerned however that discussions of abuse often focus exclusively on women and girls. As a practising psychologist I have frequently had to deal with cases of abuse (physical, emotional or sexual) that have been committed against men and boys. This abuse can be committed by either a male or female.
