Produktbeschreibung

The Lefaivre Rainbow Effect is a groundbreaking treatment for those suffering from a traumatic brain injury. This textbook is the culmination of more than 25 years of successfully implementing this transformative treatment pioneered by the author. The book demonstrates how rehabilitation professionals, including occupational therapists, doctors, nurses, social workers, speech pathologists, and neuropsychologists, can use the Lefaivre Rainbow Effect in their practices to improve the therapeutic outcome for their clients. It discusses the dual role healthcare providers have of delivering care to maximize recovery, coupled with the necessity to submit medical legal reports to an adversarial system.
