title: [Treatment policy of a psychogeriatric admission ward].
abstract: This report shows a good picture od the assessment of psychogeriatric patients. The way in whch the assessmentteam deals with the problem is a good one. In my opinion, however, the approach is still too strongly connected with the view of a psychiatric hospital and shows too little of an own and independant psychogeriatric view. This becomes especially clear in the terminology used, such as geronto-psychiatry and nursinghomes for demented aged. Before being able to judge about the positive results of the described way of psychogeriatric assessment I look forward to a report in which quantitative as well as qualitative data on the assessed patients are carefully analysed.
