- Professional Social Work

Written for all those working in social and health care settings who work with older adults, this practical guide constitutes a current and accurate reference for detecting and managing abuse and neglect.

assessing physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse and neglect

recognising the characteristics of victims and perpetrators

documenting cases of mistreatment

working as part of a multi-disciplinary team

working with victims of elder abuse and the families after abuse has occurred
