Abstract

Stake's concept of Responsive Evaluation is applied in evaluating the chain of psychogeriatric services of a general psychiatric hospital. Central to the approach presented are methodological considerations in describing individual treatment courses in their objective and subjective features. This can only be accomplished by establishing multidimensional strategies, incorporating biological, mental, psychological, and sociocultural aspects.
