title: [The competency model of old age: possibilities in clinico-psychiatric interpretation exemplified by a history group (oral history group)].
abstract: Regardless of the increasing prevalence of gerontopsychiatric diseases the increase of age-related treatments is only gradual. Due to the deficit centered image of elderly patients, which impairs the physician-patient interaction, the proper perception of cognitive and social competences of these patients within the clinical routine is impeded. To start a first approach to an age-related treatment format in regard to the "assets" of elderly patients an "oral history"-group was established in a general psychiatric ward that stressed topic-related autobiographical memories of daily life occurrences. The author proposes that elderly patients who attempt to give an age-related contribution within the social framework of a general psychiatric ward feel better about their illness.
