ABSTRACT
This introduction to the special issue on international perspectives on elder abuse presents basic elements of a cognitive-ecological approach to elder abuse. It also describes the research project out of which the current set of studies emerged, and provides a rationale for the five case studies (Japan, Germany, African Americans, Israel and Brazil) focused on in this issue.
Our thanks go to the editorial team that helped develop the elder abuse coding manual and provided comments on earlier versions of the papers in this journal: Doe West, Keren Rabi, Jennifer Clark, Maria Daskalopoulos, Anastasia Kakouros, David Oh, and Kathleen Kilfoyle.
