Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

The intent of this paper is to discuss the abuse of elders. The analysis of this complex issue is based upon both Brazilian and international studies. Subsequently we discuss some of the difficulties usually faced by professionals working with elder abuse in Brazil. We also present Brazilian legal documents which support the action of professionals aiming to reduce such violence. We believe that mental health and human rights are connected. In order to promote the former, we need to ensure the latter. Keywords: family violence; elder abuse; human rights.
