"Departing from the methodology of earlier studies that have examined the psychological status of the aged after entering an institution the authors studied psychological changes that began several months prior to admission. In order to isolate causes and effects they explored four periods in detail as well as the transition from one period to another: the time preceding the decision to seek institutional care; the period following the decision to seek institutional care when the older person is waiting entrance into the institution; the first two months after entering the home; and one year after living in the institution. Tobin and Lieberman show that the greatest psychological damage occurs before entrace to the instituion; that passivity sensitizes the elderly to the extreme effects of environmental discontinuity; and that the effects of institutional life - less hope and a perception of lowered capacity for self-care - are apparently irreducible. These and other findings lead to new recommendations for direct practice with the elderly both for planning services that can limit premature institutionali zation and for improved forms of institutional care.
