| Annotation | This revised and extended edition presents an overview of research into elder abuse, and presents practical guidance for professionals concerned with the abuse and mistreatment of older people. Chapters on themes covered in the first edition have been updated, including: the clinical and legal implications of abuse; sociological perspectives; issues for social workers, nurses, clinicians and general practitioners; and models for prevention of abuse. The implications of the NHS and Community Care Act and the application of care management systems are evaluated. The contributors offer suggestions for good practice in inter-agency working. The book looks at abuse and neglect in both domestic and residential settings, and includes examples of sexual, physical, psychological and material abuse. It also considers what can be learnt from child protection procedures. |
