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.
