Elder Abuse and Neglect (by Linda M. Woolf, PhD, Webster University)
"As the number and percentage of individuals 65 and over has increased in this country, so has the incidence of elder abuse. Unfortunately, the prevalence and nature of this growing problem has generally remained hidden from public view. It is imperative that both professionals and lay persons become more aware of the scope and many issues surrounding this sensitive topic. This web site is designed to address many of the concerns surrounding elder abuse ranging from information concerning the incidence of abuse to a discussion of intervention strategies. It is essential that the incidence of abuse and awareness of the range and breadth of various types of abuse be discussed and understood. However, an awareness of the problem of elder abuse is not enough. Therefore, issues surrounding detection of abuse and strategies for prevention and intervention will also be addressed"
