Elder abuse is a field in need of framing and conceptualization. Definitions of elder abuse and explanations for its occurrence are important building blocks that need to be explored in order to conceptualize and understand elder abuse. A variety of definitions of elder abuse that currently exists creates definitional disparity therefore we do not know which definition to adhere to. Perceptions and views of different groups involved in elder abuse, and their possible implications, are not known. In this thesis, we investigated these building blocks by analyzing the existing definitions of elder abuse and discussing diverse perspectives on the etiology of elder abuse of experts and other professional groups, older persons and victims of abuse.
