Abstract:
:The most frequent causes of the feeling of "being a burden" in elderly people dependent on others due to chronic disabling pathologies are described. Often this feeling is the main, and sometimes the only reason for their isolation from the community. Suggestions are made for the removal of this feeling, which is felt to be caused mainly by social attitudes and the style and structure of existing social services. It is felt that education in social attitudes should be directed not only to the invalid concerned but also, and primarily, to the community as a whole. In terms of treatment, rehabilitation and social facilities, various appropriate activities are suggested. A careful reorganisation of the institutions offering these services is also recommended.
