In the work with the demented hospitalised elderly, mostly suffering from senile dementia of Alzheimer's type, we introduced group therapy. As known from the literature the group setting and the group leader must undergo important changes in the work with the demented elderly in comparison to the therapeutical work with the nondemented elderly. Our experiences, different evaluations attempts and the limitations of this therapeutical approach will be discussed.
