Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The concept of elder abuse and neglect as a social problem continues to remain illusive. A major impediment has been the absence of research and clear definition of the problem, and a book which summarizes what is known about elder abuse has been needed for a long time. Drawing on examples from the US and the UK, this book is a contribution to research and information currently available.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Historical background: definitions and theories -- The abused and the abuser -- Recognition and assessment of abuse -- Interventions -- Legal issues -- Health authority and social service co-operation -- Prevention -- Institutional abuse and neglect -- Research.
