Answer to Question 2
The textbook identifies seven different types of abuse: physical, sexual, or emotional/psychological abuse, financial/material exploitation, abandonment, neglect, and self-neglect.
Physical abuse: use of physical force that may result in bodily injury, physical pain,
or impairment
Sexual abuse: nonconsensual sexual contact of any kind
Emotional or psychological abuse: infliction of anguish, pain, or distress
Financial or material exploitation: illegal or improper use of an older adult's funds,
property, or assets
Abandonment: desertion of an older adult by an individual who had physical custody
or otherwise had assumed responsibility for providing care for the older adult
Neglect: refusal or failure to fulfill any part of a person's obligation or duties to an
older adult
Self-neglect: behaviors of an older person that threaten his or her health or safety,
excluding those conscious and voluntary decisions made by a mentally competent
and healthy adult
Current approaches to elder abuse, especially by adult children, conceptualize it not as an outcome of a caregiving situation, but as a development from the longer ongoing relationship between parent and child. Similarly, abuse by intimate partners may also be tied to former existing relationship issues even if abuse had not been present previously. Understanding, detecting, and addressing elder abuse requires culturally sensitive approaches that reflect the values of older adults in different societies.
