abstract="In contrast to work within the child abuse field, polyvictimization of older adults did not become a focus of professional attention until this decade. Despite this lack of formal identification, a search of the research and practice literature revealed that prior research investigating single forms of or other elder abuse issues contained evidence of what was variously termed &quot;multiple,&quot; &quot;multi-faceted,&quot; &quot;co-occurring,&quot; or &quot;hybrid&quot; elder abuse. A wide range of victims (1.4% to 89.7%) identified in existing elder abuse studies was found to have experienced what constitutes &quot;polyvictimization.&quot; This late life polyvictimization evidence, the contexts in which victims are harmed, and information regarding the impact of multi-faceted elder abuse are presented and discussed in this article. Selected published cases illustrate clinical dynamics operating in late life polyvictimization situations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
