title: [PSYCHOSOCIAL APPROACH OF BEHAVIORAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA IN GERIATRICS INSTITUTIONS].
abstract: The psychological and behavioural symptoms of dementia are one of the most important causesof institutionalization. They can, otherwise, go against it: some institutions refuse to accept patients or their staying there. Lattely, this creates difficult situations to deal with that can destabilize the medical team. A psychosocial approach is based in a wide variety of interventions that are designed in the patient himself, to relief the stress that generates dealing people with dementia. The aim of this paper is to analize theoretical issues and to revalue the role of psychosocial approach based on psychosocial interventions.
