Abstract

Learn to detect elder abuse?and provide the help that your neglected or abused elderly clients need! Even to clinicians experienced in managing difficult client situations, elder abuse is perplexing, complex, and ethically charged. This kind of abuse can be hard to detect, with its subtle manifestations and indicators that could just as easily reflect other problems or illnesses. It can seem impossible to control, particularly when the victim refuses help or denies the seriousness of mistreatment. Moreover, decision-making when dealing with interventions for elder abuse is rarely easy

Abstract

The linking of age and ill-health is part of a cultural narrative of decline as age is often defined as the absence of good health. Research has shown that we are aged by culture, but we are also culturally made ill when we age. The cultural ambiguity of aging can thus deconstruct negative images of old age as physical decrepitude. This volume investigates the topic of health within the matrix of time and experience by addressing issues such as how our understanding of health influences our notion of agency within a subversive deconstruction of normative age concepts, and what role the notion of health plays in such an interaction.

Abstract

Er is nog weinig kennis over ouderenmishandeling. Toch komt het vaak voor. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat een op de twintig ouderen een vorm van ouderenmishandeling ondergaan heeft. Onder ouderenmishandeling wordt elke mishandeling van een oudere (vanaf 65 jaar) verstaan, die door een bekende begaan wordt. Dat kan een familielid zijn, vaak een kind een buurman of buurvrouw, een 'vriend(in)' of kennis en soms ook een hulpverlener. Ouderenmishandeling kan de vorm hebben van fysieke mishandeling, maar ook financiële uitbuiting en psychische mishandeling komen al dan niet in combinatie met elkaar voor. Het betreft vaak ouderen die geen of een klein sociaal netwerk hebben en afhankelijk zijn van zorg. In het eerste deel van het boek worden vijftien schrijnende casussen van ouderenmishandeling beschreven, alsmede de aanpak en de resultaten. In het tweede deel worden mogelijke interventies beschreven en een stappenplan gepresenteerd. Het boek geeft inzicht in de verschillende aspecten van de problematiek en biedt handvatten voor hulpverleners bij het aanpakken van ouderenmishandeling. Deze herdruk is grondig herzien en grotendeels opnieuw geschreven in verband met nieuwe wetgeving en actuele inzichten.Bron : www.bibliotheek.be
