The above recently released book was written by Dominique Predali and his colleague Professor Jacques Soubeyrand.Over the years, he has been extremely supportive and helpful to the issues concerning difficulties faced by those who raise concerns with respect to substandard care. Dominique interviewed me a few years ago and has kindly included me in his newly released book. The interview with me was fairly detailed really but I am very pleased and honoured to have been part of this project. I would therefore like to formally thank Dominique for his efforts and I am positive he has done an excellent job.
This is Dominique's summary of the book. The above link has it listed in French. I have translated the material through Google Translator . I wonder if Jobbing Doctor would help me read the actual book as my German is better than my French [ which I was forced to drop pre-GCSE].

A UN report in 2002 on the abuse suffered by older people in the world during the last twenty years confirms the extent of this phenomenon, and the silence that surrounds it. A guilty silence at all levels of society - including doctors and media - on a problem that is epidemic proportions with the acceleration of aging. A sinister secret that could well be the last taboo of the twenty-first century.
Three years of investigation around the world with geriatricians and health professionals, as well as criminologists, lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists, economists have shown that elder abuse was universal . And in the context of globalization, the economic imperatives of their care led to a silent genocide, industrial and instrumentally.
A strong work documented medical studies that alternate with stories of geriatricians in anger, denouncing bureaucrats and state complicity in the situation.
Dominique Predali is an author, journalist, translator and interpreter conference in Britain. Professor Jacques Soubeyrand is a geriatrician at the Sainte-Marguerite hospital in Marseille and a member of the College of Teachers of geriatrics. They published a book on the subject, with Christophe Fernandez and Thierry Pons: It kills Vieux (Fayard, 2003).
