Abstract
This SIP paper reviews the literature on depression within the geriatric population
in consideration of dementia so as to explore critically the relevance of separating the
demented population from the non-dementing population to form a more homogeneous
and effective cognitive group therapy. The paper concludes by asserting the argument
that the formation of two distinct groups of cognitive therapy within the geriatric
intensive unit, the non-dementing and the dementing patients suffering from depression,
is feasible and provides for a more efficient group.
