The Philosophy of Transgenerational Theory of Elder Abuse Is That

The philosophy of transgenerational theory of elder abuse is that:

A) The combination of stressors in the carer's private life and in undertaking the carer role result in the caregiver expressing their stress through abuse of the elder
B) That abuse is a learned behaviour, therefore a carer who was raised in an abusive environment is more likely to be an abuser when taking on the role of carer
C) Psychosocial problems in the carer, such as mental illness and substance abuse, result in altered impulse control, thereby placing the elder at increased risk for abuse
D) The psychosocial impact of the reversal of traditional roles between parent/child results in role conflict between the elder and carer
