| Résumé : | Facing difficulties due to dementia syndromes, systemic care is necessary. But nevertheless, caregivers are generally lacking in medical welfare. Therapies assessed specifically to caregivers are missing. Amongst these, psychoeducative steps seem to be the strongest effective's one on neuropsychiatrics symptoms. Psychoeducations tend to learn to caregivers to modify their interactions with patients via a better understanding of illnesses and patients. Our training "Pour mieux vivre avec la maladie d'Alzheimer ", done in groups of eight to twelve persons, is constituted of twelve sessions of two hours each. Complete formation includes behavioural and cognitive aspects of the disease and proposes some multidimensional approach which content at least pedagogical, psychological and cognitivo behavioural aspects. We illustrate here with the use of two peculiar cases that our program can reach its objectives. These preliminary results strongly argue for the pursuit and even extension of this kind of caregiver's management. |
