Baby boom of silver linings has posed several challenges before the society, elder abuse being one of them. The transition of culture, values, and life style has shown degradation in morality, sense of responsibility, love, and care toward the older family members. Older adults are considered as burden and hence abused both by family members and society. In the absence of recognition and acceptance of abuse, support network, and preventive measures to control abuse, the cases of abuse often remain underreported. Henceforth, the behavior of abuse gets reinforced silently and the incidences of abuse reach greater heights. This chapter provides an overview of elder abuse, along with the coping mechanisms for older adults to prevent elder abuse. A comprehensive elucidation of the psychological perspectives to make older adults understand their own behavior and behavior of the abuser with the help of which they can develop insight of their situation, motives of the abuser, and coping strategies is the core strength of this chapter. For the younger reader, the chapter may be a preventive checklist and explication of the malaise of the abuse that is growing exponentially.
