[A psychosocial therapeutic program for dementia inmates of a nursing home for the aged].
This paper presents the development of a therapy program for in-patients with cerebral dysfunctions living in a nursing home of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Frankfurt. The "starting-point" for the development of this therapy was the conscious decision against the segregation of patients with cerebral dysfunctions and for their "integrated housing" with other in-patients. First experiences and results with this therapy system, which is related to the findings of the intervention programs in gerontology, are presented, as well as the first survey in the evaluation of this psychosocial therapy program.
