Abstract

The present study, starting from a descriptive-reflexive methodology and different conceptual contributions, articulates four thematic axes: the question of human aging; the production of violence and, most important, familiar violence; the drug addiction as source of violence against the elderly; and the participation in therapeutic groups to familiars of drug addicts as a possibility of reflection.
