Reports on a study to investigate whether sexual abuse in men is a significant predictor of psychological problems. A sample of men attending general practice took part in a computerised interview about sexual abuse as children or adults. Results found that men who reported child sexual abuse were more likely to report psychological disturbance. Men who reported sexual abuse in adulthood were more likely to have experienced a psychological disorder, but self-harm was the single most likely problem to occur. Men reporting 'consenting' sexual experiences when aged under 16 years were also more likely to report acts of self harm.
