| Annotation | Domestic violence in older families is often referred to not as family violence but as elder abuse. The author begins by discussing how perceptions of this type of violence impact informal and formal interventions. The prevalence and aetiology of domestic violence are described, along with how the joint forces of ageism and sexism affect older female victims. US national, state and local efforts to prevent and remediate abuse of older women are also covered. The implications for working with groups and individual abused older women are presented from a feminist perspective. (RH). |
