Abstract

Research on abuse is often piecemeal and focused on specific forms, populations, and social situations. As a result, these studies tend to ignore the web of abuse resulting from the interactive effects of various forms of abuse over the life course, together referred to as "lifetime abuse." An examination of abuse from the point of view of older adults is likely to provide a lifetime perspective based on linking child abuse to elder abuse over the life course and an assessment of its consequences. Despite the growing awareness and resulting body of knowledge regarding this phenomenon, proposed theoretical formulations about it remain limited. The present article aimed to conceptualize the multifaceted phenomenon of lifetime abuse and to gain a deeper perspective of the topic by understanding its dimensions, meanings, and experiences in older age, based on a critical review of empirical studies. A model is suggested, which can be useful for future exploration and understanding of lifetime abuse. Based on a critical review of previous studies, we suggest a theoretical framework of lifetime abuse from the perspective of older adults, identifying three key domains: (a) perception of time and life review in old age; (b) cumulative and interactive abusive life events; and (c) resilience versus vulnerability over the life course. We propose a heuristic model to explore and understand lifetime abuse. We believe our proposed model is open to reflection and elaboration and is intended to raise questions that could enhance the need for our understanding of lifetime abuse in old age.
反思老年时期的终生虐待。
关于虐待的研究往往是零敲碎打的,主要集中在特定的形式、人群和社会环境上。因此,这些研究往往忽视了在人的一生中各种形式的虐待所产生的交互影响所形成的虐待网络,这种网络被统称为 "终生虐待"。从老年人的角度研究虐待问题,有可能在将儿童虐待与老年人一生中的虐待联系起来并评估其后果的基础上,提供一种终生的视角。尽管人们对这一现象的认识和由此产生的知识越来越多,但对其提出的理论表述仍然有限。本文旨在将终生虐待这一多层面现象概念化,并在对实证研究进行批判性回顾的基础上,通过了解其维度、含义和老年期的经历,对这一主题有更深入的认识。本文提出了一个模型,有助于今后对终生虐待的探索和理解。基于对以往研究的批判性回顾,我们从老年人的视角提出了终生虐待的理论框架,确定了三个关键领域:(a) 对时间的感知和老年生活的回顾;(b) 累积和互动的虐待性生活事件;(c) 生命历程中的复原力与脆弱性。我们提出了一个启发式模型来探索和理解终生虐待。我们相信,我们提出的模式是可以反思和阐述的,其目的是提出问题,以加强我们对老年终生虐待的理解。

With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
