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.
One of the main pleasures of the book is that it is written by an
author who really understands the practicality of identifying,
intervening and the continued support of the abused and the abuser
from a multi-disciplinary perspective... 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 ... This book would be of use to
anyone working with elderly people in a hospital or community
setting. Students would find it easy to understand and full of
useful learning material. The book is highly recommended to anyone
working in this important area.' - Therapy Weekly '[The author's]
reputation guarantees a large and diverse readership... The
uniqueness of this book comes in the second part. The seven
activities have combinations of learning objectives, learning
activities, trainer activities, assessment, student activities and
suggested reading... Workers engaged in all forms of training will
find this book an invaluable aid.' - Community Care 'An ideal
teaching and training resource for those with responsibility for
providing health and social care services to older people.' - Age
and Ageing 'Pritchard's training manual is more readable than it
sounds. The first part contains five chapters discussing elder
abuse which would provide a short overview for those new to the
subject. The second part of this training manual focuses on a wide
range of exercises.' - Journal of Social Work Practice 'This
handbook addresses the problems and challenges facing domiciliary
workers of all kinds and provides a training package that can
realistically be offered to all agencies engaged in this field
(social services and community care in particular).' - Abstracts in
Social Gerontology The second edition of this well-established book
has been enlarged and completely updated and contains additional
training exercises. Based on extensive research and practical
experience, the book is designed to be used by both professionals
and students to enable them to develop the awareness and skills
necessary to deal with the wide variety of issues involved. The
book has four main aims: * To define the abuse of older people * To
raise the consciousness of the abuse * To develop skills in
recognising the abuse * To develop skills in recognising the abuse
