Men too: partner violence, context and the predictive brain
Intimate partner violence against men, seen through the predictive brain and context sensitivity. The presentation explains why male victims so often stay invisible and how coercive control is concealed. It also shows why the label “narcissist” in a case file says something about the person who uses it.
