    • Psychosocial Assessment

    Background:

    • Psychogeriatric patients require comprehensive evaluation.
    • Assessing social functioning is crucial for understanding psychiatric illness in the elderly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the methods and patient sample of a 10-month Geriatric Assessment Program.
    • To evaluate the utility of social functioning scales in psychogeriatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Intensive investigation of 80 newly admitted psychogeriatric patients.
    • Utilized medical, laboratory, and psychologic-psychiatric tests.
    • Employed Minimal Social Behavior Scale and Integrative Social Functioning Scale.

    Main Results:

    • Good agreement was found between staff ratings of social functioning.
