title: [Old age: knowing what self-neglect is].
abstract: The issue of self-neglect in the elderly concerns society as well as caregivers who, in their practice, are ill at ease and frequently disorientated when faced with this behaviour which hampers the care approach. Here more than elsewhere, the choices of the people in question seem to collide with the care objectives, in such a way that it is important to remain curious in the face of what appears to be the height of incuriosity.
