Scenarios of Intimate Partner Violence in Later Life DV grown old New relationship Late onset

Other Scenarios of Abuse in Later Life Adult children/grandchildren Other family members Caregivers

What About Caregiver Stress? Early theory of elder abuse Assumes a well-intending, normally competent caregiver Becomes overwhelmed and lashes out High stress and low resources results in maltreatment

Limitations of Caregiver Stress Not supported by more recent research (pointing to domestic violence) Identifies the victim as the problem Abuser feels validated May ignore criminal aspects
