This workshop draws upon my book of the same title, and is aimed at assisting clinicians whose adult survivors clients are facing the aging and death of perpetrators in the family. We will cover some of the basic constructs to assist survivors with making decisions about whether or how to participate in the care of abusive elders. Assisting survivors in becoming for themselves, rather than either compliant or defiant in response to perpetrators, and supporting therapists in developing clarity in this complex context, will be emphasized.
