The primary aim of this form of intervention is to firstly, stabilise or improve the level of cognitive functionality of the participants, and secondly for the results to be applied to their daily lives outside the groups. Additionally, their participation in group activities and discussions is aimed at enhancing their social functions.
It is a prerequisite for the intervention to be successful, that the patients maintain strong motives to participate with consistency in the particular intervention program. The familiar environment of the teams pertains towards exactly that.
