[Temporary aspects of aging: a new approach to the problem].
Medical, psychologic and social problems are typical of the old age. Usually growing old means organic impair, loneliness and a lower social role; moreover, spatial behavior is completely reduced. The period could be lived and be considered in a different way, although aging is unavoidable. This work suggests that we should consider the passing of time a most comprehensive way. The cyclic, biological time can be replaced by a time which considers and gives expression to everybody's needs and activities. The first aim is to give the elderly a new social role, necessary to avoid a "ecosystemic destabilization". Therefore social workers should supply the aged with a new education at "lived time", as a new therapy form.
