[Present state and future tasks for gerontopsychiatric research].
The state of scientific studies in gerontopsychiatry in the USSR is characterized. The development of respective epidemiological and follow-up studies is positively assessed. However such global problems related to studies in organizational and basic problems (biological, neurophysiological, genetical, pathopsychological, etc) are not sufficiently represented. It is emphasized that new approaches in gerontopsychiatry such as the study of borderline mental disorders in the elderly, the role of social and microsocial factors, the elaboration of psychotherapeutical and rehabilitative measures are developing.
