Abstract
Case studies demonstrate that when chronic sexual conflict constitutes a factor in family homeostasis, nursing home placement of the aged ill is a likely event when either there is a shift in family dynamics due to death or illness of a key member or the aged becomes overtly psychiatrically disabled. Microanalysis of patient-family interactive processes are interwoven with the clinical behavior of the ill aged and will provide great rewards for the professional geriatrician and related disciplines.Keywords
