Industry Reviews
"This book provides a foundation for understanding bullying behaviors among older adults. The book is particularly useful for staff members in nursing homes, assisted living centers, and senior centers who may be challenged by these behaviors. The book provides many case examples as well as tools for practitioners to use to intervene and stop the bullying behavior. Educators and researchers will also find this book useful because of the seriousness of the issue and also because there are so few other resources available. This book addresses an important gap in the literature. I strongly endorse this book."-- (06/30/2016)
"This much needed, clearly written resource is well researched and full of practical tools that can be used by a wide range of practitioners to recognize and stop the many interactions that comprise bullying. Anyone who works with older adults, or is planning to, should know what Dr. Bonifas and her contributors have gathered in this impressive volume and keep it handy as a practical reference in their day to day work."-- (06/30/2016)
