Abstract

Even with several technologies, politics, laws and to knowledge that looks to secure the worthiest conditions of aging, the asylum of olds still marks presence in the contemporaneousness, like a sign of the aging badly succeeded. The present work is the result of practices carried out in institutions of long permanence and, among the effects of the institutionalization of the old age, the most attention was given here to the mechanism of the regression, analyzed through the light of the psychoanalysis.
