Gerontological science has always paid special attention to the psychological aspects of aging. It is recognized that in the course
of aging in human psychology there are various changes that have both positive and negative sides. In the elderly, sensitivity to
mental and emotional overload increases. This leads to the fact that older people may be inferior to those of mature age in a
number of indicators of mental activity. At the heart of the evolving changes are biological causes and the social limitations that
arise in the elderly, as well as accumulating earlier losses and negative emotional upheavals. It is generally believed that the
weakening of the mental resources of an elderly person is largely due to an increase in its sensitivity to overloads. Overcome
many of the psychological changes in the elderly is possible through the use of psychotherapeutic methods. Currently, among
psychologists, the point of view is becoming popular about the possibility of a significant improvement in the psychological
state of elderly patients with the help of psychotherapy. This is due to the fact that today psychological disorders in the elderly
are seen as similar to those that occur at a young age. In this regard, gerontological psychotherapy is considered as a very
promising branch of psychotherapy, which should be aimed at changing dysfunctional ways of behavior, helping to overcome
external life difficulties, and also in rethinking the question of the finiteness of human life.
