Abstract: 

This article is the second of a two-part article based on a national study of self-neglecting APS clients that was conducted from 1990 to 1991. Although the information is 15 years old, it represents the only national collection of data on self-neglecting adults and, as such, may be of interest to practitioners. Part I of this article covered the reasons that led to the study, the methodology used to collect the data, and a summary of the findings.

Keywords: younger self-neglector
