  • Retraumatizing the Victim
    Retraumatizing the Victim By Ann Jennings, Ph.D. This article is an excerpt from “On Being Invisible in the Mental Health System,” which appeared in theJournal of Mental Health Administration, Fall 1994. Reprinted with permission of the author. Editor’s note: Stigma can take many forms. When diagnosis and treatment themselves are stigmatizing, the consequences are devastating. In the case of Ann Jennings’ daughter, the outcome was tragic. My daughter Anna was a victim of early childhood sexual trauma. She was never able to find treatment in the mental health system. From the age of 13 to her recent death at the age of 32, she was viewed and treated by that system as “severely and chronically mentally ill.” A review of 17 years of mental health records reveals her described in terms of diagnoses, medications, “symptoms,” behaviors, and treatment approaches. She was consistently termed “non-compliant” or “treatment resistant.” Although it was initially recorded, her childhood history was dropped from her later records. Her own insights into her condition were not noted. When she was 22, Anna was re-evaluated after a suicide attempt. For a brief period, she was rediagnosed as suffering from acute depression and a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. This was the only time in her mental health career that Anna agreed with her diagnosis. She understood herself, not as a person with a “brain disease,” but as a person who was profoundly hurt and traumatized by the “awful things” that had happened to her, including sexual torture by a male babysitter. Invisibility For nearly 12 years, Anna was institutionalized in psychiatric hospitals.

  • Miami VA Healthcare System Patient Abuse Memorandum
    MIAMI VA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM MIAMI, FLORIDA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM POLICY MEMORANDUM NO……………………………………00QMPI-04-13 August 19, 2013 PATIENT ABUSE I. PURPOSE: To establish policy, responsibility and processes relative to employee abuse of Veterans II. POLICY: The Department of Veteran Affairs and the Miami VA Healthcare System have a zero tolerance policy of mistreatment or abuse of Veterans by employees. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken for substantiated allegations of abuse. Employee intent to abuse is not a requirement for determination of abuse. The Veteran’s perception of how he/she was treated will be considered as part of the criteria developed in determining whether abuse has occurred. Limited or no cognitive patient ability does not preclude that a patient has experienced abuse. III. DEFINITIONS: Abuse includes acts against a Veteran which may involve emotional, physical, sexual, or verbal abuse. Behaviors that may be considered abusive include, but are not limited to: • Teasing a Veteran • Speaking sharply, rudely or irritably to a Veteran • Laughing at or ridiculing a Veteran • Scolding a Veteran • Indifference to a Veteran’s needs • Unkind acts involving a Veteran • Violence toward a Veteran • Infliction of physical pain or injury • Intimidation, harassment or ridicule • Sexual comments or inappropriate touching • Violation of Veteran’s privacy • Omission of care or an intentional delay in providing care, such as leaving the patient unattended for long periods 1 • Neglect of duties by clinical staff • Improper or illegal use or management of Veteran’s identity, funds, assets, or property for personal gain • Any action or behavior that conflicts with Veteran’s rights identified in CFR 38, Part 17, or any other patient’s rights laws, statues, or guidelines.

  • A Review of Elder Abuse Literature: an Age Old Problem Brought to Light
    M. A. Wyandt / Californian Journal of Health Promotion 2004, Volume 2, Issue 3, 40-52 A Review of Elder Abuse Literature: An Age Old Problem Brought to Light Mary A. Wyandt University of Arkansas, University Health Center Abstract As the population continues to age, elder abuse is an issue that must not be ignored. Although elder abuse is not entirely a new issue, it is time for a unified definition to be identified, prevention programs to be implemented and effective interventions to emerge. This paper provides a synopsis of elder abuse through a comprehensive review of literature. Factors associated with defining elder abuse, types of abuse among the elderly, varying perceptions of elder abuse, perpetrations and situations of elder abuse, recognizing elder abuse, responding to and reporting elder abuse, and interventions and elder abuse are presented. Suggestions for further initiatives are provided. © 2004 Californian Journal of Health Promotion. All rights reserved. Keywords: elder abuse, elderly, neglect, domestic violence Although elder abuse has existed throughout exists in state protective programs with time, only in the most recent decades have dissimilarities in structure, administration, age of researchers and literature begun to seriously client eligibility, type of abuse and abuse address the issue. The intent of this review of definitions, and reporting requirements literature is to explore elder abuse through a (Goodrich, 1997). These differences result from synopsis of current readings that address the absence of federal mandates and the States relevant issues. As a flux of recent research and having developed their own definitions and laws literature indicate, it is overdue that the age-old in response to elder abuse, neglect, and problem of elder abuse be focused upon and exploitation.
