| Annotation | In contrast to work within the child-abuse field, polyvictimisation of older adults did not become a focus of professional attention until this decade. Despite this lack of formal identification, a search of the research and practice literature revealed that prior research investigating single forms of or other elder abuse issues contained evidence of what was variously termed "multiple", "multi-faceted", "co-occurring", or "hybrid" elder abuse. A wide range of victims (1.4%-89.7%) identified in existing elder abuse studies was found to have experienced what constitutes "polyvictimisation". This late-life polyvictimisation evidence, the contexts in which victims are harmed, and information regarding the impact of multifaceted elder abuse are all presented and discussed in this article. Selected published cases illustrate the clinical dynamics operating in late-life polyvictimisation situations. (RH). |
