Intimate violence across the lifespan : interpersonal, familial and cross-generational perspectives

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Studies of family functioning as their members age, and of elder abuse at the hands of adult children or caregivers, are recent trends in gerontology. Yet the intersection of these two ideas—the impact of prolonged domestic abuse on elders and their families—has received scant notice. Similarly, questions are posed as to whether abusers "age out" of violence, but answers have been inconclusive.
