Abstract:
This research brief synthesizes research on the mistreatment of those with dementia, covering findings on prevalence and types of abuse, and characteristics associated with those involved in processes of elder mistreatment intersecting with dementia. The latter includes characteristics of the caregiver perpetrating mistreatment and the care recipient experiencing mistreatment, who may also be exhibiting behaviors of psychological aggression and physical assault to others.
