Abstract
The group therapy is one of the activities that have been shown more positive as support to the family caregivers of Ad ; for it, in this work we introduce a program of help to caregivers ; where the group therapy is one of the established activities with two functions : counteracting the isolation of the caregivers and helping them to overcome the negative feelings that raise their situation. The results that we present, correspond to a period of intervention of six months, valued by the STAI. Results point our to be very effective for the reduction of the anxiety like for the establishment of a communication system about the common problem and the search of solutions, perceiving the caregivers these performances as excellent for their wellfare.
