Abstract

This article focuses on the persistence of physical and emotional sibling violence through the life course and its potential connection to elder abuse. Theories relevant to the linkage between sibling violence and elder abuse are presented and discussed. Highlighted is the need for future studies to examine the association between these forms of family violence in order for preventative and intervention mechanisms to be created and implemented. Implications for practice include the need to assess physical and emotional sibling violence as a potential risk factor for elder abuse.
