| Annotation | Sufferers from dementia stand a high chance of falling victim to abuse because of their vulnerability. Those who abuse people with dementia are carers, who more often than not, are close family members. In order to understand what drives an individual to act in such a way, the authors explain how they went about finding out from family carers of dementia sufferers how far abuse can go. The authors outline the findings of the CARD (CAring for Relatives with Dementia) study published by Claudia Cooper and colleagues in the British Medical Journal (vol 338, no 7694, 7 March 2009).
