✦ Synopsis

In the past three decades, society has developed interest in what has come to be called elder abuse. Since interest initially appeared, concern about elder abuse has gone through different cycles regarding the conceptualization of the problem, appropriate responses, and explanations. A recent trend has witnessed a call for an interdisciplinary and integrated understanding of, and response to, elder abuse. This article describes what is meant by an integrated response to elder abuse. Ways to promote a broader response to the problem are suggested.
