In “Mauvais traitements des personnes âgees: Statégies de changement” are contained the analyses and reflections of 27 different authors. They address four separate areas of the issue: practice, policies, education and research. The authors went about writing this book with the intention of assessing what is known to date, indicating how the situation appears to have evolved and providing certain recommendations in the hope of putting an end to this complex, disturbing problem. Very recent works which, for the most part, were written by the same authors are described in this book. However, few studies which have been conducted on a regional or local level, or even in a university milieu, have been mentioned. Despite the quality of this work, once again there is a noticeable lack of precise terminology used in reference to mistreatment. Nevertheless, this document does paint an excellent picture of the issue and presents recommendations which can be extremely useful in developing policies, protocol and programs aimed at the prevention of mistreatment with regard to seniors, either in a family or institutional environment.
