An elders PACES interest group is very important. First because frail elders are often taken advantage of, even abused. Second because many people who had abusive trauma as children are not able to deal with it until they have the perspective of age. Third because some elderly diagnosed in the standard DSM way may not have mental illness or dementia, but be suffering the symptoms of child abuse trauma.

Very good points, Mr. Gordon. I would only add that, from my point of view, there are surely many elderly people who have never had counseling or been diagnosed with any psychological problem at all, but are suffering to varying extents the emotional pain of earlier abuse.
