Adopting an interdisciplinary framework in recognition of the range of domestic and institutional settings in which elder abuse can occur, this book both explains the nature of this under-reported and little understood problem and addresses the vital question of how practitioners can best work towards its prevention. Locating elder abuse in a spectrum of family violence, the book gives a balanced account of relevant perspectives on it, drawn from the medical, legal, health and social welfare spheres.

The Dimensions of Elder Abuse: Perspectives for Practitioners

Red Globe Press

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.
