Abstract

Domestic violence is a serious national public health issue, and elderly dementia sufferers are not exempt from this form of aggression. This manuscript discusses the general nature of domestic violence, reviews the empirical findings of domestic violence in dementia sufferers, and outlines some of the warning signs and intervention strategies that could be considered for remediation in the presence of such abuse.
