Memory disorders in everyday life impair the quality of life of those affected and also have an impact on the therapeutic approach. Knowledge of the diagnosis, therapy and compensation of memory disorders of various causes significantly improves the therapeutic options.

Can psychotherapy with people with memory disorders be carried out successfully at all? How can people who care for patients with memory disorders be given qualified support and advice? The content · Memory functions and systems · Learning and memory as a temporal process · Learning and memory across the lifespan · Factors that negatively affect learning and memory · Acquired brain damage · Dementia forms · Diagnostics and



assessment · Basics of exercises and therapy The target groups Psychotherapists or doctors in practices and other institutions The author Dr. rer. medic. Dipl.-Psych. Volker Völzke, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Supervisor, Psychological Psychotherapist as well as Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, is Head of Therapy, Psychology & Neuropsychology at the VAMED Clinic Hattingen. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
