Rezensionen

'Disorders of mood and personality are common after brain injury, and addressing these problems should be an integral part of neuropsychological rehabilitation. This edited volume provides descriptions and explanations of the current psychological therapies employed in good rehabilitation practice for survivors of acquired brain injury. Readers are provided with accounts of cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, compassion focused therapy, positive psychology, attachment-based psychotherapies and integrative psychotherapy for holistic rehabilitation. The contributors are experts in their field, and any practitioner working in brain injury rehabilitation will recognise that this book is essential reading.' - Barbara A. Wilson, The Oliver Zangwill Centre, Ely, UK

'Despite dramatic advances in neuroscience over the past few decades, there is still no "cure" or effective biological treatment for many of the long-term neuropsychological consequences a lot of our patients face after an acquired brain injury. Covering a wide range of therapy models and techniques, Psychological Therapies in Acquired Brain Injury makes an important contribution to the field of long-term psychological care of patients who have suffered neurological injury or illness. Technically sound whilst simultaneously also hands-on and practical, this is an essential book for anyone interested in the application of psychotherapeutic approaches to caring for patients with acquired brain injury and their families.' - Rudi Coetzer, DClinPsy, Consultant Neuropsychologist & Head of Service, North Wales Brain Injury Service, UK
