''This book has certainly stood the test of time, and now in its second edition, it continues to hold its own in the under-researched and grossly underestimated world of elder abuse.

The layout is clear and highly user-friendly, and this clarity is reflected through the jargon-free choice of language... What really sets the book apart from the others on the shelf is the exquisite way Pritchard uses situational analyses, vignettes and case studies to illustrate the essential skill needed by workers... It is an essential reference for any practitioner working within the community or hospital setting where older people are encountered.''- Nursing Times''This well researched, informative book deals with a complex subject, but the author covers the issues thoroughly and manages to raise the reader''s awareness of elder abuse ...
