“…Isolation, increasing dependence, and lack of physical or monetary resources to provide alternatives may keep an older adult in an abusive situation. Unfortunately, resources for obtaining help may be quite limited in rural areas (Teaster, Roberto, & Dugar, 2006). Thus, clinicians need to be sensitive to the problem and trained to handle it.…”

Practitioners in rural areas face particular challenges in providing psychological services, ranging from disparate rates of mental disorders to unique circumstances in treating special populations. In this article, we discuss the burden of mental disorders in rural areas, current trends in integration of mental health care and primary care, and unique concerns practitioners face in treating two special populations in rural areas (children and families, and older adults and their caregivers). Implications for practice are also discussed.

“…Research on family and gender issues has analyzed intimate partner violence (IPV) reaching different conclusions (Teaster et al, 2006;Valls et al, 2008Valls et al, , 2016Yount and Li, 2009;Martin et al, 2013;Medrano et al, 2017;Vidu et al, 2017). One of these conclusions concerns on the central role that socialization process has in the reproduction of this problem.…”

The Language of Ethics and Double Standards in the Affective and Sexual Socialization of Youth. Communicative Acts in the Family Environment as Protective or Risk Factors of Intimate Partner Violence

et al. 2018

One of the explanatory factors for the perpetuation of intimate partner violence (IPV) is the socialization process. There is broad literature on the role of family in socializing gender roles and the influence on reproducing IPV. However, less research has been developed on the effects of communicative acts in the family environment as a protective or risk factor in front of IPV. This article presents sound evidence confirming the presence of language of ethics that is reproducing stereotyped models of attraction in heterosexual relationships, which empties good people of attractiveness and indirectly contributes to maintain the link between desire and aggressiveness. The language of ethics is characterized by integrating speech acts that exclusively include ethics and exclude desire when talking about egalitarian boys or men. To analyze this reality, a qualitative study has been conducted framed in the communicative methodology. This methodology has been recommended by the European Commission to conduct research on vulnerable groups and social inequalities, which has the aim to advance knowledge on social transformation. Drawing on this approach, three different data-collection techniques have been implemented: in-depth interviews, daily-life stories and focus groups. The fieldwork includes a sample of 52 young men and women between the ages of 18 and 23 from a vocational training high school, and 4 fathers and 4 mothers of some of these young people. The findings confirm the existence of a model of socialization that replicates family relations based on the maintenance of the double standards. Thus, mothers used to employ the language of ethics with their daughters fostering a controversial effect, that is, the latter prefer to start affective and sexual relationships with boys who are aggressive and not egalitarian. On the other hand, fathers used to employ language of desire with their sons stimulating the performance of chauvinist behaviors that denigrate women and girls.

“…As a result, several researchers have suggested that an ecological view of older women and violence is needed (Heise, 1998;Horsford, Parra-Cardona, Post, & Schiamberg, 2011;Penhale, 2003;Teaster, Roberto, & Dugar, 2006). An ecological view indicates that violence takes place in interconnecting systems, each of which impacts the others (Bronfenbrenner, 2005).…”

Violence against women is a major health risk nationally and internationally. However, despite its impact, violence against older women remains an understudied area. Abuse of older women is frequently unrecognized unless encompassed under ''elder abuse.'' The purpose of this article is to (1) provide a summary of current research on violence against older women, (2) describe methodological biases in research on violence against older women, (3) discuss methodological biases that have kept the problem of violence against older women hidden from view, and (4) propose new directions for feminist research, advocacy, and therapy.KEYWORDS domestic violence, elder abuse, intimate partner violence, older women, violence against women Paludi and Denmark (2010) noted that, during the course of editing their recent book about violence, approximately 2.6 million women were victims of intimate partner violence, including having been slapped, having had objects thrown at them, and having been grabbed and shoved by their mate. Women aged 45 to 64 years represent 1.5 million of the victims who are physically abused by their mates every year (Desmarais & Reeves, 2007). In addition, 1.5 million older women living in institutions are victims of abuse annually (Vinton, 2001). As Krauss, Krauss, and Plichta (2010, p. 3) noted, violence against women ''is among the most common, yet least acknowledged human rights abuses in the world.'' Despite the high incidence
