title: [Rheumatic diseases in advanced age--psychological aspects].
abstract: This paper discusses the importance of cognitive representation and individual patterns of behavior for coping with chronic disease. Chronically ill patients differ very much in their psychic situation. Biographical and situational factors and the future perspective contribute to these interindividual differences. Diagnostic and therapeutical tools are discussed from a psychological perspective.
