This 2 DVD set uses the voices of older victims to facilitate a dialog among a range of professions about the dynamics of abuse, the barriers these victims have to overcome to live free from abuse, and interventions and potential collaborations that may be effective in such cases.
In addition to individual segments with victims, family members, victim service providers, and allied professionals, the DVDs include topical segments and a montage of victims and advocates speaking out that is designed for use by policymakers. It also includes an interactive role play between a parish nurse and an adult daughter caring for her father that is intended to help professionals recognize abusers' justifications for elder mistreatment.
