title: [Pathologic psychosomatic reaction pattern in aging patients: epidemiologic, diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic remarks].
abstract: Somatic, psychic, and social factors influence the Pathological Psychosomatic Reaction Pattern (PPSRP) in the elderly. Some administrative epidemiological, and differential-diagnostical data of the Viennese Psychosomatic Department comment on and extend previous findings. Because of the specificity of PPSRP in the elderly, specific preventive and therapeutic strategies are proposed.
