[Psychiatric aspects in rehabilitation patients and elderly patients]

From a psychiatric point of view reintegration and integration meaning a reorientation of the individual should be the points to be stressed in respect of rehabilitation of elder people. These individuals should be led to finding new positions in their psychosocial context. It would be an easier task to reach having developed some crucial social abilities in earlier stages of life. These abilities should be established already. We want to demonstrate this considering individual activities, social abilities, trusting and flexibility. Getting older is a developmental process. You cannot develop abilities which you never were confronted with before. If you do not seed you will not get a crop. Depending on early set resources individuals will later be able to integrate, reintegrate or not. This is to be set in an early stage of life.
