Abstract

Like other forms of family violence, abuse of the elderly is a long-standing problem that is a new focus of public interest. This description of the efforts of an acute-care hospital's interdisciplinary team to assess cases of elder abuse focuses on the role of the social worker and the dilemmas that arise when the problem of elder abuse is confronted by helping professionals.
