AB  - The prevailing attitude toward the aged in our society is largely negative. Many of these elderly patients in nursing homes seem confused and disoriented and are diagnosed, therefore, as suffering from chronic brain syndrome. A treatment to help elderly patients with a moderate to severe degree of confusion and disorientation has been developed by Folsom (1968). It is this technique of Reality Orientation that served as the focus of the present study. In this project, an attempt was made to assess the effectiveness of Reality Orientation in treating a small number of chronic brain syndrome patients in a nursing home.
