The author deals also with dynamic changes on mental manifestations of old people during the first six months in the old age pensioners home and those spheres of the psyche where the most marked variations occur. He follows up factors which participate in the process of adaptation and deals with the problem whether life in an old age pensioners home in an advantage for old people and a solution of the problem of old age.
