title: [Aspects of the psychology of the terminal stage of life].
abstract: Six person-centered and six social-network-centered constructs are discussed in order to describe aspects of the terminal time of life: age attitude, death concept, surviving motivation, coping style, partner relatedness, experience of dying; degree of connection, bearing power, taking over, life-end-communication, dying accompany, mourning work. A life span theory of change in activity and social functions stands in the background.
