| Annotation | Traumatic events may occur at any time during the life cycle, and so cut across all boundaries of age, race, nationality, culture, gender and class. Some of the papers in this issue of the Journal of Gerontological Social Work consider the impact on older people of manmade and natural disasters such as the 11 September 2001 attacks on New York and Hurricane Andrew (Florida, 1992). Other papers look at how traumas experienced earlier in life - by World War II veterans and Holocaust survivors - affect late-life experiences such as willingness to enter a nursing home. Lastly, two papers focus on crime-related issues: sexual abuse of older women living in nursing homes; and analysis of mental health issues in relation to fear of crime. (RH). |
