Instead, it has most often represented the interests of professionals, academics, and governments, while policy makers and researchers frequently overlook or disregard the complexity of issues that fall under this designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eContesting Elder Abuse and Neglect\u003c\/em\u003e questions existing understandings about the mistreatment of older people. It explores how and why the designation \"elder abuse and neglect\" came to be and shows how this term masks problems concerning the mistreatment of older people, their place in society, and how they see themselves. Joan R. Harbison and her colleagues expose how supposed solutions to the problem of abuse can take their toll on those people they were originally intended to protect. The book is an important contribution to the literature that encourages new thinking about issues concerning the mistreatment of older people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Gerontology, Theorizing, and \"Elder Abuse and Neglect\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 \"Elder Abuse and Neglect\": A Metahistorical Analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Struggles in Defining \"Elder Abuse and Neglect\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The Emerging Global Context for \"Elder Abuse and Neglect\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 How Constructions of Older People Shape Their Relationships to \"Elder Abuse and Neglect\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Adult Protection Legislation, the Rhetoric of Rights, and the \"Right\" to Protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 How Policies Control Practices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Reconstructing the Mistreatment of Older People through Research-Based Knowledge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Conclusion: Searching for a Strong Foundation on Which to Reconstruct the (Mis)Treatment of Older People\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670764744984,"sku":"9780774832342","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/contesting-elder-abuse-and-neglect-ageism-risk-and-the-rhetoric-of-rights-in-the-mistreatment-of-older-people-paperback-softback-9780774832342","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
