Abstract

Recent research on elder abuse highlights the importance of communication and conflict .resolution in the families of older people. Although methods of handling detection and intervention of elder abuse exist, few prevention programs are available for use with community groups. This article reviews the literature on elder abuse and describes an educational curriculum designed to prevent abuse and neglect in families of the elderly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
