Notes:	This paper discusses the implications of confidentiality when human sciences practitioners work with abusive men. The author argues that providing confidentiality reasserts patriarchal practices of domination and maintains unequal power relations. The protection of the interests of privileged white men and the normalisation of certain criminal behaviour against women, children and men perpetrated by men are addressed. Some suggestions for guidelines directed at the managing of confidentiality are presented.
