Abstract

Violence towards the elderly can occur in various forms. These include domestic or institutional abuse but other more covert forms exist. The complex conditions of their appearance, both in the elderly victim as well as in their abusers imply a pluridisciplinary repsonse. It is essential to preserve the notions of humanity, the safety of the elderly, autonomy and the respect of the wishes of our senior citizens.
