Abstract

From social sciences, we have been for many years defining, conceptualizing, revising and using different therapies for the set of problems which go with Alzheimer Disease. It is certainly very complicated to prove the efficiency of these treatments on the cognitive function, but their applicability on behaviour, behavioural disorders, emotions and the maintenance of the independence is undeniable. From our practical experience of 20 years, we want to reflect on the current importance of these therapies, their application, efficiency and future in the daily confronting of the disease.
