===Treatment of his sister Camille===
[[File:Camille Claudel.jpg|thumb|[[Camille Claudel]]]]
Claudel committed his sister [[Camille Claudel|Camille]] to a psychiatric hospital in March 1913, where she remained for the last 30 years of her life, visiting her seven times in those 30 years.<ref>Ayral-Clause, Odile, p. 217, 222, 225, 242, 245, 250</ref> Records show that while she did have mental lapses, she was clear-headed while working on her art. Doctors tried to convince the family that she need not be in the institution, but still they kept her there.
