Description
Following a definition of neuropsychological rehabilitation (NR), this presentation addresses some recent developments in the field. It stresses that cognition, emotion, and psychosocial problems are intertwined and hard to separate, as illustrated through examples, and all should be addressed in NR. We consider ways to improve new learning for people with an insult to the brain before looking at some of the new compensatory techniques to help those with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impairments. We also think about environmental modifications to help those with severe and widespread difficulties. These approaches are not, of course, mutually exclusive. The need to include theories and models from different sources in order to avoid poor clinical practice is considered.
