Title: Working with toxic older adults
First published: 1999
Description: "Experienced caregivers will immediately recognize Gloria Davenport's descriptions of the "toxic" personality: the elder who persistently poisons his own care environment with non-compliant and psychologically abusive behavior. Toxic older adults are often hazardous cases for gerontology professionals: they can destroy care relationships, and even produce co-victimization in their caregivers."--BOOK JACKET.

"Davenport presents ways that care providers can prevent difficult elders from manipulating the caregiver's energy and interfering with effective practice, relationships and healing."--BOOK JACKET.
