内容説明

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. The authors define elderly abuse broadly. While physical abuse is one aspect of the problem, Bennet and Kingston also study financial, emotional, sexual and psychological abuse and neglect. In addition, they cover practical concerns of recognition, intervention, prevention and related legal issues. With its multidisciplinary approach, this book is appropriate for nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, geriatricians and all other health care professionals involved in elderly care.
