Psychotherapy for senile demented patients is feasible and should become a routine. However, it must be integrated psychotherapy that is not school-centred but patient-centered. Especially in the work with senile demented patients it must closely cooperate with all health professions that are in the field. These endeavours must be systematically coordinated. Analytic psychotherapy in the classical sense is not feasable. However, in old (and demented) patients sometimes a strong desire persists to tell out of the past. The therapist's task there is mainly listening and not interpreting. Children, animals, plush-animals, music and dance-therapy are not so well-known possibilities to find a psychotherapeutic approach to senile demented persons. The basic psychotherapy should be known to all health professions. Professional psychotherapy should be given more attention as to the psychotherapy of old people.
对老年痴呆患者进行心理治疗是可行的，且应成为常规治疗手段。然而，这种心理治疗必须是综合性的，应以患者为中心而非以学派为中心。特别是在针对老年痴呆患者的工作中，它必须与该领域的所有健康专业人员密切合作。这些工作必须进行系统协调。传统意义上的分析性心理治疗不可行。然而，在老年（和痴呆）患者中，有时仍会强烈渴望倾诉过去的事情。治疗师在那里的主要任务是倾听而非解释。儿童、动物、毛绒玩具、音乐和舞蹈疗法是找到针对老年痴呆患者心理治疗方法的不太为人所知的途径。所有健康专业人员都应了解基本的心理治疗方法。应更加重视针对老年人的专业心理治疗。
