Abstract
⺠Current definitions of elder abuse produce a definitional chaos. ⺠Social currents have strongly influenced the development of the various elder abuse definitions. ⺠For research purposes we should use the WHO-definition that helps to understand the problem of elder abuse and to distinguish it from other phenomena. ⺠For professional practice there is an urgent need for a definition that sets boundaries to the phenomena and is appropriate for effective prevention and interventions.
