Summary

A randomized controlled trial designed to test the effectiveness of a psychological intervention based on group therapy for the caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients. The intervention consists of 14 sessions of a cognitive-behavioral psychological group therapy. This study aims to demonstrate that Alzheimer's patients' caregivers can benefit from group counseling, with an improvement in mood state, quality of life, perceived burden and a decrease in anxiety and depression. Two evaluations will be done: before the therapy sessions (basal) and when intervention is finished (final).
