Factors Influencing

The authors review the literature on televiewing mediation from a family-systems perspective. Three types of mediation—restrictive, evaluative, and unfocused—are defined. Four prominent factors influencing mediation are identified and discussed: family structure variables, parent variables, child variables, and television accessibility. Factors that influence televiewing mediation are discussed. The question “Should parents mediate?” is addressed and two courses of action for mediation are presented.

Insight Into

Objective: Informed by Family Systems Theory, this study examines the interwoven nature of intergenerational family structures and roles in which elder family financial exploitation (EFFE) takes place. Method: Data from a mixed-methods study were utilized to examine patterns of family structures and roles within and across 23 family systems. Participants were non-perpetrator/non-victim concerned family members (CFMs) who had experienced EFFE. Results: Four family context profiles were identified, organized by the number and roles of victim(s) and perpetrator(s) in each family system, including: Single victim, Single perpetrator; Single victim, Multiple perpetrators; Two victims, Single perpetrator; and Two victims, Multiple perpetrators. It is possible for multiple perpetrators to be involved, with up to five perpetrators across three generations in our sample. Discussion: Findings offer insight into the range of intergenerational family structures and roles affected by EFFE. Practitioners are encouraged to understand and address family contexts to improve EFFE intervention outcomes.
