[New therapeutic activity in geriatric psychiatry].
The author mentions and describes in detail three dynamically oriented psychiatric activities which proved useful and became thus an important component of comprehensive treatment of demented patients. Part of the activating programme for patients with advanced affections of memory, orientation and concentrating capacity is Training in orientation and reality (TOR). Relaxation training (TR) helps patients to get rid of the sensation of tension, fear and uncertainty. Cognitive training (KT) helps to restore and improve cognitive functions. By means of the mentioned activities the authors reinforce persisting abilities and skills. In the conclusion the authors present recommendations which make the reader familiar with suitable communication with and treatment of clients suffering from organic brain affections.
