There are far more resources, many more good ideas and a lot more training materials in the field of elder abuse than anyone knows...

...unless they're a regular reader of ADULT ABUSE REVIEW.

MARCH 2004: The format, frequency, and availability of Adult Abuse Review (AAR) has changed. The newly-founded American Society of Adult Abuse Professionals and Survivors (ASAAPS) has taken over the former AAR tasks of providing information on conferences, successful prosecutions, new legislation, and key websites. Please check out ASAAPS' many benefits at www.ASAAPS.org/. Volumes 1 and 2 of AAR will continue to be offered free at this website. However, future, periodic AAR s focusing on special topics and resource reviews will only be available to purchasers (ASAAPS members have a 50% publications discount). If you would like to receive a free email notice when new AARs are available for purchase, please click here to fill out a brief subscription form.
