Verbal abuse was the most common form (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200942, 51%), while 20% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200916) of carers admitted to physical abuse and 4% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093) to neglect abuse. Significant associations were found between verbal abuse and psychological ill health in the carer and behavioural problems in the dementia sufferer. Physical abuse was significantly associated with higher levels of self\u2010reported good health by the carer. High expressed emotion measured in carers was highly correlated with all types of abuse.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>It is possible to identify situations where people with dementia may be at high risk of abuse from their carers. Any effective intervention strategy should address psychological health problems in the carer, behavioural problems in the dementia sufferer and a strategy to manage high levels of expressed emotion in these situations.
