| Annotation | Self-neglecters are vulnerable people who have multiple deficits in a variety of social, functional and physical domains, and who often live in squalor with their most basic needs unmet. This issue of Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect is arranged in two parts. Contributors to Part 1 consider self-neglect from epidemiological and historical perspectives; report on development of a Self-Neglect Severity Scale (SNSS); describe a study on the association between self-neglect and depressive symptoms and untreated medical conditions; and profile the social networks of those who self-neglect. Articles in Part 2 review the results of studies on social risk factors, pain and vitamin D deficiency, concluding with a perspective on the legal implications for this research. (RH). |
