Abstract
The authors implemented a group in a state psychiatric institution for women with primary degenerative dementia. The group provided schedule d opportunity in a nonrestrictive environment for structured movement and sensory stimulation. Over a period of nine sessions, small but sig nificant changes were noted in the members' behavior. This type of the rapy can benefit such limited clients by enhancing the quality of thei r life in the institution.
