[The role of sociotherapeutic community in geriatry (author's transl)].
Based on the experience with 120 members of a geriatric club we consider life in the sociotherapeutic community, respectively the geriatric club, is a basic condition for adjusted socialisation of the elderly. Through different activities in the club the elderly restores his social consciousness he lost when retiring. Mutual approach, intellectual exchange, arrangements of excursions, performances and concerts are realized in the club. The basic concept of sociotherapeutic community is the elderly's understanding of his own problems.
