21 February 2003: Following an overhaul of all our psychosocial reviews this review has been permanently withdrawn. It has been by a new protocol titled: "Cognitive stimulation to improve cognitive functioning in people with dementia" which includes reality orientation as well as cognitive stumulation.
We are lucky to keep the same review team but now under the lead of Bob Woods to undertake this new review.

The editorial group responsible for this previously published document have withdrawn it from publication.
