{"product_id":"abuse-of-the-elderly-benjamin-schlesinger-9781487582371","title":"Abuse of the Elderly: Issues and Annotated Bibliography","description":"Abuse of the elderly -- physical, psychological, institutional, sexual, financial, and criminal victimization -- remained a largely undefined social problem until the end of the 1970s. Senior citizens seem not to report any abuse for fear of losing the little support they may have from their friends, family members, neighbours, and professionals. Today some light is being shed on this type of family violence; the past seven years have seen an increase in research studies and media focus on this topic.\u003cbr\u003eThe ten essays in the book represent contributions by nurses, psychiatrists, lawyers, sociologists, social workers, and social scientists. \u003cbr\u003eThe annotated bibliography includes 260 books, booklets, journal articles, reports, newsletters, and surveys related to the topic, published in Canada and the United States between 1979 and 1987. Entries are arranged in 44 subject categories, from 'abstracts on aging' to 'women and aging'. A resource section lists visual aids available on the topic of abuse of the elderly, a basic library on the topic, and the complete addresses of the major sources cited in the bibliography, which will enable the reader to obtain the original item. An author index completes the volume. \u003cbr\u003eA pioneering effort on the topic of abuse of the elderly, this volume will serve as an essential guide to an important emerging social issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Schlesinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487582374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487582371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Benjamin Schlesinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933942964479,"sku":"9781487582371","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bbca878-57e9-4557-87dc-bceee60e71d6.jpg?v=1721789966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abuse-of-the-elderly-benjamin-schlesinger-9781487582371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
