Abstract

Far too few books are devoted to family reactions to brain injury. At best, chapters in neuropsychological rehabilitation books have examined this area, albeit mostly from a family support perspective (e.g., counseling, education, and family training). Harder to come by, however, are books concerned with family therapy, where treatment goals include bringing about behavioral change in a disturbed family unit by essentially psychological methods. This book attempts to do just that—synthesize family therapy principles and apply them specifically to traumatic brain injury and degenerative dementia.
