[Non-medicinal treatment in psychogeriatrics (author's transl)]

Of the triad of possible concepts of psychogeriatric therapy which includes pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and social therapy, the non-medicinal treatment of the elderly is dealt with here, starting from the experience of our own team in the outpatient and part inpatient sphere and in the interdisciplinary team. For psychotherapy in its strict sense, approaches are described which arise from the elaboration of deep psychology, learning theory or client-centered therapy. Forms of treatment are described and possibilities for concrete aids in the patients' environment outlined.
