The Anton Trstenjak Institute for Gerontology and Intergenerational Relations
is named after its co-founder, academician Prof. Anton Trstenjak, Ph.D. The work of the
Institute is based on a holistic view of the human being. In the spirit of its co-founder, the
Institute researches, publishes, teaches and develops practical programmes in all the areas for
which it has been founded; in addition to ageing and coexistence, it also includes psychology
and logotherapy, which were in its title when it was founded, including intoxication and addictions, which have been the lifelong focus of the Institute’s co-founders. This article presents
some of the outlines of Trstenjak’s life and work and their significance for the development
of the Anton Trstenjak Institute up to 2022, when it celebrates its thirtieth anniversary.
