Undoing Undue Influence
June 25, 2021 - 10:00 AM CDT
Powerful individuals often use unfair tactics to
manipulate the less powerful to benefit themselves with devastating
consequences for their victims. This webinar will describe how undue influence
has been addressed in the fields of psychology, law, and adult protective
services (APS). It will also offer strategies for preventing, identifying and
responding to undue influence. Recent developments in California will be
highlighted, including that state's four-pronged statutory definition of undue
influence, conceptual frameworks, and screening tools designed for APS workers
and others.
