Learn to detect elder abuseand provide the help that your neglected
or abused elderly clients need! Even to clinicians experienced in
managing difficult client situations, elder abuse is perplexing,
complex, and ethically charged. This kind of abuse can be hard to
detect, with its subtle manifestations and indicators that could
just as easily reflect other problems or illnesses. It can seem
impossible to control, particularly when the victim refuses help or
denies the seriousness of mistreatment. Moreover, decision-making
when dealing with interventions for elder abuse is rarely easy and
is frequently clouded by ethical dilemmas. The Clinical Management
of Elder Abuse can help. This essential guide for present and
future clinicians provides you with multidisciplinary perspectives
on detecting elder abuse situations and interventions that can make
a real difference in the lives of clients. Three case studies are
presented and then examined from the professional perspectives of
an attorney, a physician, a nurse, and a social worker. What these
professionals have to say will leave you better informed about the
dynamics and complexities of elder abuse, about important steps
that must be taken in the clinical management of elder abuse, and
about the importance and application of multidisciplinary teams in
elder abuse work. The handy figures, lists of definitions, and
tables you'll find in this well-referenced book make important
concepts and complex information easy to access and understand. The
Clinical Management of Elder Abuse shows how professionals in the
above disciplines can address the effects of elder abuse, which may
manifest as: physical effects, including pain and injury, sleep
disturbances, eating problems, and headaches behavioral effects,
including anger, helplessness, reduced coping abilities, and
suicidal actions psychological effects, which can be wide-ranging
and include denial, fear, anxiety, and depression social effects,
such as increased dependence, withdrawal, and lessened contact with
the outside world As the baby boom generation ages, incidents of
elder abuse are certain to continue to increase. Whether you are a
student, an educator, an experienced clinician, or a novice in the
field, The Clinical Management of Elder Abuse is a resource that
you'll return to again and again as you work to improve the lives
of this important, growing population.
