A Case Series of Intimate Partner Violence in Older Adults Within an Older Persons' Mental Health Service.
Purpose: The aim of this case series is to explore the range of considerations (ethical, practical, and legal) for mental health clinical assessment and management of older adults experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV).
Case Series: Three case reports are described. Participants were older adults presenting to an Older Persons Mental Health service in a metropolitan area who reported experiencing recent IPV (either as a survivor or perpetrator). Each case illustrates aspects of the complex issues to be considered in the assessment and management of IPV in older adults, including clinical factors (eg, cognition, interpersonal relationships, mental illness), ethical dilemmas, and legal, sociocultural, and practical considerations.
Conclusion: This case series highlights the complexity in assessing and managing IPV in both members of the older adult dyad within a mental health service. Specific approaches to IPV are required given the physical, emotional, and cognitive interdependency often present in older adults.
