Elder abuse in rural and urban Zambia : interview-study with community leaders

Tuotetiedot

This book, based on the views of the community leaders in rural and urban Zambia, brings new perspectives which are currently absent in the existing global knowledge on elder abuse. Besides the forms of elder abuse that have dominated scientific knowledge, the book talks about new typologies of elder abuse namely spiritual abuse and political abuse of older people. Thus, the book is a valuable reading for any person or institution interested in the issues of elder abuse.
