Published Online:February 28, 2015https://doi.org/10.1024/1661-4747/a000195

Abstract

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Befunde zu Kompetenzen im Bereich der emotionalen Verarbeitung bei Patienten mit Alzheimer-Demenz zusammengefasst und deren mögliche Nutzung für psychosoziale Interventionen diskutiert. Anschliessend werden Hypothesen zur Bedeutung emotionaler Kompetenzen für die Wirkung bereits bestehender erfolgreicher psychosozialer Interventionen dargestellt. Zudem werden Empfehlungen für die Forschung und Praxis aus den dargestellten Befunden und Überlegungen abgeleitet.


The role of emotion in psychosocial therapies for Alzheimer's disease

We provide an overview of studies on emotion processing capacities in Alzheimer's disease patients and discuss possibilities to use these resources for therapeutic intervention. On the basis of the presented findings, we also discuss how existing therapies for Alzheimer patients already take advantage of their preserved emotion processing capacities. The paper closes with recommendations for research and practice.
