Psychological treatment of individuals with brain injury

Abstract

The recovery of individuals with brain injury is a primary concern for psychologists, particularly those working clinically with this type of patient. Currently, various strategies are being developed to address this issue. All begin with a neuropsychological assessment that allows the identification of the core deficits of the disorder and conclude with evaluative follow-up work to determine the outcomes of the applied psychological intervention. This article aims to present recent data obtained directly from the authors and the centres where these studies are currently being conducted, providing a first approach to this field of psychological intervention.
