Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

A Resource for Group-Based Education and Intervention

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The understanding and management of cognitive difficulties by patients, family members and staff are central elements in neurorehabilitation. However, they are often not facilitated in a formal way due to constraints of time, staffing or other resources. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation is a ready-to-use therapy tool that provides the resources required to run a six-session information provision/rehabilitation group for people with brain injury, their families and rehabilitation staff. It begins with a rationale for running such groups and presents a case for increasing the allocation of resources to structured information provision. Subsequent chapters provide a collection of materials that enable the professional to run group sessions. Information is presented session-by-session in the form of a 'script' and includes prepared handouts and slides for topics such as memory, attention and executive function. Individual sessions are suitable for standalone use, and a chapter covering frequently asked questions is also included. This accessible resource provides the materials required for running groups in one easy-to-use volume, thus minimising the preparation time for busy professionals. It will be an invaluable tool for healthcare professionals working as part of a multi-disciplinary team in a neurological setting, including psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, nursing staff and medical staff. On-Line Resources: The handouts and slides included in this book are available online free to purchasers of the print version.
