Through a uniquely multidisciplinary lens, Ethics and Vulnerable
Elders: The Quest for Individuals Rights and a Just Society employs
a highly principled approach to ethics and addresses current issues
affecting vulnerable older adults. The book illuminates the current
and future challenges facing older adult populations and provides
effective frameworks for their resolution. The text features 19
chapters written by experts, which are then divided into four
sections. The opening chapter introduces the framework for the book
and addresses key concepts in ethics. Each of the four sections
that follow addresses a particular category of vulnerability,
namely compromised health, effective status, care arrangement, and
abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Specific topics include cognitive
impairment, physical disability, gender, sexual orientation,
residential long-term care, self-neglect, correctional settings,
victimization, and more. Each chapter includes a summary; case
study; discussion of applicable principles of ethics, including
autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice; resources for
follow-up; and questions for further consideration. Ethics and
Vulnerable Elders is an ideal resource for law school and graduate
school programs with focus on gerontology, disability, social work,
public health, elder and family law, and health care management.
