TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Sexual violence, post-traumatic stress disorder and dementia JO - Journal of the American Geriatrics Society A1 - McCartney, J. R. A1 - Severson, K. SP - 76 EP - 78 VL - 45 IS - 1 N2 - Little is known of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in older people. No literature exists on this disorder in older women exposed to sexual assault. A case of apparent PTSD in a demented woman raises questions of the anatomy and phenomenology of this disorder. Difficulties in diagnosis in a demented population may cloud the issues or prevent a proper therapeutic outcome.
