title: [Home aides and families faced with alcoholic behavior in elderly people].
abstract: Alcoholic behaviour in elderly people living at home leads to the establishment of a singular relationship between the family and the home helpers. The professionals have a special role within the family system but one which at the same time is, paradoxically, limited. The intervention of a third party, in the framework of an alcoholism support network, can help to avoid the breakdown of the care within the home as a result of the mental exhaustion of the various players, as well as the occurrence of conflicts within the family circle in the home.
