Interviews
Between 1995 and 2001, I edited nexus, a publication for the National
Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse. The following interviews,
posted on NCEA’s website, may still be of interest.
- What
Can We Learn from Criminal Background Checks? An Interview with
Forensic Psychologist Vern Quinsey. From nexus, Volume 7,
Issue 2, September 2001. Concern for the safety of frail seniors
has prompted many states to pass laws permitting home care agencies,
nursing homes, and consumers to check the criminal histories of
prospective and current employees. In doing so, they're finding
that a disturbingly high number of workers have committed crimes,
many serious, and the number appears to be rising.
- Elder
abuse & substance abuse: Making the connection. An interview with Charmaine Spencer and Jeff Smith.
From nexus, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2000. Although substance abuse is the most commonly cited risk factor associated with elder abuse, little attention has been paid toward understanding the connection or developing interventions. nexus interviews two leading experts to find out why.
- The
elder abuse beat: Journalists speak out.
From nexus, Volume 4, Issue 3, December 1998. Since the British press first exposed
the shocking new phenomenon it tagged as "Granny Bashing" back in the late 1970's, media coverage of elder abuse has been sporadic and uneven. Covering abuse is rife with difficulties for reporters. A panel of distinguished journalists describes the difficulties inherent in covering the topic and offers suggestions to reporters and community groups for working together more effectively.
- Justice
for the forgotten victims of financial crimes. An interview with
Martin Plone.
From nexus, Volume 3, Issue 2, September 1997.
In addition to their homes, life savings, and prized possessions,
financial abuse robs many elderly victims of their dignity, independence,
and the satisfaction of providing for future generations. Victim's
rights advocates are increasingly calling for "restorative justice" for victims of financial crimes - measures aimed at helping victims recover and heal from these devastating losses. nexus interviews Martin Plone, one victim who has paved the way for others to become "whole" again.
- Hornswoggled?
An interview with Margaret Singer on undue influence. From nexus volume 2, Issue 1, March 1996. When seemingly competent
older people abandon families and loved ones in favor of cunning
new "friends," it presents troubling conflicts for professionals and other concerned parties. Psychologist Margaret Singer sheds light on the psychological manipulation that may be occurring.
- Moving
towards a peaceful life: Carole Seaver talks about the Milwaukee
Women's Center and its older battered women's program.
From nexus, Volume 1, Issue 3, October 1995. For years, service providers assumed that elderly victims did not make good candidates for support groups. Carole Seaver, who facilitates one of the nation's first support groups for elderly victims, debunks this myth.
