Abstract

We try, from our clinical practice in a geriatric medicine department, to identify the processes involved in family crisis, especially in the relationship carer/cared. Psychodynamic and systemic determinants are highlighted to understand how family caregivers may suffer burn out, and suggest preventive measures.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; aged people; burn out; caregiver; crisis; exhaustion.
