title: [Behavior medicine intervention strategies in nursing home patients with manifestations of dementia of multiple origins].
abstract: The present study is an attempt to throw light on the possibilities and scope of different therapeutic applications concerning geriatric patients. Guide-lines are presented for the absolving of general animation programmes as well as also a specific "training in realism, orientation and memory" to modify the symptoms of chronic brain syndromes. First results show that with both intervention strategies a better integration of demented patients is possible in the department. Furthermore some improvements in the cognitive area can be attained by means of selective training.
