| Annotation | Financial exploitation (FE) of older adults is a social issue and a significant social problem that is beginning to receive the attention that it deserves in the media, thanks to some high profile cases. However, empirical research and clinical guidelines on the topic are just emerging. This review seeks to synthesise the current research (predominantly American) in the area and to develop a conceptual model. The authors describe the significance of the problem. They propose a theoretical model for conceptualising FE, and summarise related areas of research that may be useful to consider in the understanding of FE. They identify key structural issues that have limited interventions in the past, and make specific public policy recommendations in light of the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in history. The implications for clinical practice are discussed. (RH). |
