| Annotation | This book introduces the concept of abuse throughout the life course. It discusses what is known about the causes of elder abuse, and its prevalence in the context of family violence, which also includes child abuse and domestic violence towards women. It examines how practitioners in social work, nursing, community work, mental health and medicine can work towards the prevention of abuse in domestic and institutional settings, and the minimisation of risk. The legal and medical dimensions of abuse are discussed, as are strategies for intervention, and developments elsewhere in the world. |
