The purpose of the study was to be able to illustrate men´s vulnerability to violence in close relationships, to see what support there is and the significance the professionals have for the vulnerable men. The methodological starting points that are central to the study are hermeneutic qualitative approaches, where semi-structured interviews have been conducted. In total, six people have been interviewed who have worked in some form with vulnerable men. The study is based on social constructionism and exit theory. The results of the study indicate that violence against men in close relationships is prevalent but that there is unrecorded. The result also shows the important role of the professionals in the treatment work and that the presence and commitment of the professionals is of great importance for an individual´s change process. It can be seen that there is a difference in which violence is most prevalent depending on what activities the professionals work on and that there is a difference in legislation depending which gender is exposed to violence in today's society. The Conclusion of the study indicates that it is an important subject to work against and lift and that the professional role of the professionals is important for the vulnerable men.
