At the Psychiatric Department, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, a behavioral competency training (Verhaltenstherapeutisches Kompetenztraining) VKT is offered to patients with early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The primary objects of VKT are, (a) patient support in coping with the diagnosis of AD, (b) mobilization of the present personal activity resources, and (c) minimization of depressive symptoms. The VKT consists of six therapy-modules: 1. behavior analysis, 2. psychoeducation, 3. stress management, 4. increase of pleasant activities, 5. enhancement of social competency, and 6. modification of depressive cognitive patterns. The VKT is derived from scientific findings that show the involvement of psycho-social factors in the genesis of AD. Inadequate coping-behavior, unescapable stress and resulting neurodegenerative effects, a low premorbid niveau of activity and the presence of premorbid depressive symptoms outline the necessity of psychotherapeutic treatment in AD patients.
