Long-Overdue Recognition for the Critical Issue of Elder Abuse and Neglect: A Global Policy and Practice Perspective

This special section of Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention presents three studies on elder abuse by members of the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA): one from the United States, one conducted in Japan, and the third conducted in Sweden. They are intended to exemplify research conducted internationally on elder abuse and stimulate ongoing research and evaluation studies on this social problem, as well as effective prevention, crisis intervention, and postvention strategies from a global perspective.
