The Effect of Gestalt Therapy on Groups of Patients with Mild Cognitive Disorder
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) brings about changes in both the life of the person and its environment, and its diagnosis often motivates people towards treatment. Although its natural course is uncertain, sufferers have higher risk for developing dementia. However, there is a significant percentage of the population, where MCI may not go on to develop dementia. In order to ameliorate their condition many sufferers seek help and make preventative efforts. Prevention includes non-pharmacological interventions, which can contribute significantly in preventing or delaying the onset of dementia. One of the non-pharmaceutical interventions that we investigate in Greek Association of Alzheimer’ s Disease and Related Disorders (Ε.Ε.Ν.Α.Σ.Δ.) is Gestalt Psychotherapy, as applied to groups of people with MCI.
