| Annotation | Elder abuse is explored from the perspective of caregiver stress and domestic violence theories. The author proposes that the theory of caregiver stress has shaped US elder abuse laws, and raises some important questions. The need for policy-makers and practitioners to evaluate their applied theory or theories so they may better advocate for needed changes in policies and laws is examined using a case example. The author suggests that the elder abuse protection field must consider underused concepts of domestic violence theory for policy development, case studies and intervention strategies. (RH). |
