title: [Demotivation of the demented elderly. From recovery to repetition].
abstract: Demotivation is a compelling feeling of self erasure and a renunciation on the hold on of the moment. Demotivation is frequently found amongst the ageing, who are confronted by narcissistic wounds and who are often discouraged to make his or her decision. The periodic psychologic recovery permits to selfactualize regularly the time gone by and to give a lift to the present and the future. The memory is precociously altered by the mental disorders where the older person is imprisoned by repeated demotivating experiences. The impossibility of the repetition, to conduct real-life experiences, the dull and sterile mind obligates themselves to regress into an unchangeable pattern. The power on the familial law can be lost by the elderlies, who then regress because enable to solute an identity crisis, sometime similar to their own adolescent crisis.
