Brain Injury Treatment

This workbook guides survivors of brain injury and blast injury through the powerful healing experience of telling their own stories with simple journaling techniques. By writing short journal entries, survivors explore the challenges, losses, changes, emotions, adjustments, stresses, and milestones as they rebuild their lives. Journaling after brain injury helps written and verbal communication skills and provides cognitive retraining for following instruction. It helps promote self awareness as well as recognition of strengths and difficulties after brain injury. It is a tool for planning for the future and discussions with family members. Journaling can be done individually, in a group or with assistance from caregivers or family.

Despite the publication of a number of books and chapters on neuropsychological and cognitive rehabilitation in the past 15 or 20 years, there have been relatively few books published that have focused specifically on the topic of memory rehabilitation . Neuropsychologist Barbara Wilson's new book on memory rehabilitation addresses this notable gap and provides a concise but up-to-date review of the topic for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, and other professionals dealing with the improvement of memory functioning in individuals with various types of memory disorders.
