title: [Psychotherapy interventions with elderly impaired patients].
abstract: This article reports the development of our research interests in the field of clinical practice in gerontology, in particular with people suffering from depression during the last five years. It summarizes the progression of our work in four domains: the coping strategies of elderly people with respect to depression, the assessment of depressive symptomatology, the psychotherapy with elderly people who are depressed (in particular the cognitive-behavioral intervention in groups), and the preparation of elderly people to the psychotherapeutic intervention. The article ends with some suggestions for research and clinical practice.
