 This book provides nurses, geriatricians, healthcare professionals and community organisations with a comprehensive overview and analysis of self-neglect in older adults. With an aging global population, self-neglect is emerging as a complex problem that crosses multiple disciplines of health and social care. Characterized by a harmful inattention to health and hygiene, self-neglect manifests in a variety of ways across the world that healthcare professionals need to be able to recognize and manage. The only text with the latest analysis of theoretical perspectives, research, and evidence from global leaders in the field, chapters tackle the interdisciplinary problem of self-neglect to deliver current professional practice tools and clinical practice interventions. There was an extensive list of contributors from the U.S., Ireland, England, Australia, Israel, and Canada including respected researchers, practitioners, and academics from multiple health and social care disciplines along with health and social care services. These have played a critical role in advancing research, public awareness, and policy on self-neglect.
