SIBLING ABUSE
- PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE
- NAME-CALLING AND RIDICULE
- DEGRADATION
- PROMOTION FEAR
- TORTURING OR KILLING A PET
- DESTROYING PERSONAL POSSESSIONS
- PARENTS OFTEN DO NOT GIVE THE ATTENTION THEY SHOULD TO SUCH ABUSE
- SEXUAL ABUSE
- COMMON AMONG BROTHERS AND SISTERS, BUT RARELY REPORTED
SON, YOU HAVE TO
LEARN THAT HITTING
YOUR YOUNGER SISTER
IS NOT THE WAY TO
SHOW HER YOU’RE
UPSET WITH HER.
*
- LIKE THE OTHER FORMS OF ABUSE, BUT DEALING WITH THE OLDEST POPULATIONS IN AMERICA
- WHO ARE THESE ABUSERS
- MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUALLY LIKELY TO FINANCIALLY EXPLOIT AND PHYSICALLY ABUSE THEIR PARENTS AND OTHER ELDERLY PERSONS
- WHY ABUSE?
- IMPAIRMENT OF CAREGIVER
- IMPAIRMENT OF RECIPIENT
- DEPENDENCY IN THE OLDER PERSON
- MEDICAL COSTS
IN AMERICA, TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE
ELDERLY IS BECOMING
A SERIOUS PROBLEM!

EXPLAINING THE VIOLENCE
- PATRICARCHY AND MALE DOMINANCE
- THERE ARE STILL SOME COUNTRIES WHERE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE DEFINED AS “PROPERTY” OF MEN
- SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY
- VIOLENCE IS LEARNED THROUGH MODELING AND IMITATION
- RESOURCE THEORY
- MEN HAVE ACCESS TO MORE OPPORTUNITY WHICH LEADS TO MORE POWER AND STATUS
- MEN WHO DO NOT SHARE IN THIS MAY RESORT TO VIOLENCE AS A WAY OF ESTABLISHING AUTHORITY
*
TWO MORE THEORIES
- CONFLICT THEORY
- MOST INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FAMILY, DO NOT BENEFIT WOMEN AND CHILDREN AS MUCH AS MEN
- EXCHANGE THEORY
- WEIGHING THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF ENGAGING IN SUCH BEHAVIOR
THE COST ARE
BEGINNING TO
OUT WEIGH ANY
BENEFITS WHEN
IT COMES TO
MALTREATMENT
*
- PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
- TENDENCY TO STILL BLAME VICTIMS
- HUSBANDS ARE JUSTIFIED IN ABUSE DUE TO WIFE’S “NAGGING”
- THE DAUGHTER WAS ALWAYS BEHAVING SEDUCTIVELY
- WHILE MORE SHELTERS ARE BUILT, THE NEED GROWS
- LAWS HAVE CHANGED TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF ABUSE
*
OTHER ISSUES
- BARRIERS
- SOCIETAL ATTITUDES
- PUBLICITY IS A TURN-OFF TO THOSE WHO WISH TO REPORT ABUSE
- FEAR OF ISOLATION, OR TOO MUCH IN THE MEDIA SPOT LIGHT
- FEAR OF “GETTING INVOLVED”
- DUE TO LAWSUITS
- LEGAL ISSUES
- BATTERED-WOMAN SYNDROME
- WOMEN BEING EXCUSED FROM ABUSE AND EVEN KILLING THEIR PARTNERS
- STILL NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH THIS AS A VALID DEFENSE PLEA
*
ABUSE OFTEN CAN LEAD TO OTHER CRISIS SITUATONS WITH THE CONTEXT OF THE FAMILY
- DRUG ABUSE
- BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING SPENT TO FIGHT THIS SOCIAL PROBLEM
- TEENAGE DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE
- NOT ENOUGH TREATMENT PROGRAMS AND RECENT CUTBACKS IN GOV’T SPENDING IN THESE AREAS
- PARENTS NEED TO BE TAUGHT TO LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN
- EATING DISORDERS
- MOST IMPACT FEMALES, FAR TOO MANY STILL DIE FROM ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA
