Overview

Combining scientific expertise with psychotherapeutic acumen, this book is highly accessible and packed with clinical examples. Part I provides essential information on how brain damage affects emotional functioning. Part II describes practical, specially tailored ways to treat anxiety, depression, and anger related to acquired brain injury, and to help patients regain a sense of meaning and value in their lives. The book shows how standard psychotherapeutic interventions can be adapted for the brain- injured population, as well as which approaches may be contraindicated. It presents a biopsychosocial framework for assessment and treatment that integrates emotional support, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and acceptance- and mindfulness- based strategies.
