TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Elder maltreatment items, subgroups, and types: policy and practice implications JO - International journal of aging and human development A1 - Hall, P. A. SP - 191 EP - 205 VL - 28 IS - 3 N2 - An examination of 288 validated instances of elder maltreatment suggests that these phenomena pose questions as diverse as those faced in identifying child and spouse maltreatment. A partial typology is offered to guide further investigations. Implications for policy and practice suggest a cautious approach to value-laden issues while recognizing the need for intervention.
