Book Synopsis Self-Identity after Brain Injury by : Tamara Ownsworth
Download or read book Self-Identity after Brain Injury written by Tamara Ownsworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An injury to the brain can affect virtually any aspect of functioning and, at the deepest level, can alter sense of self or the essential qualities that define who we are. In recent years, there has been a growing body of research investigating changes to self in the context of brain injury. Developments in the cognitive and social neurosciences, psychotherapy and neurorehabilitation have together provided a rich perspective on self and identity reformation after brain injury. This book draws upon these theoretical perspectives and research findings to provide a comprehensive account of the impact of brain injury on self-identity. The second half of this book provides an in-depth review of clinical strategies for assessing changes in self-identity after brain injury, and of rehabilitation approaches for supporting individuals to maintain or re-establish a positive post-injury identity. The book emphasizes a shift in clinical orientation, from a traditional focus on alleviating impairments, to a focus on working collaboratively with people to support them to re-engage in valued activities and find meaning in their lives after brain injury. Self-Identity after Brain Injury is the first book dedicated to self-identity issues after brain injury which integrates theory and research, and also assessment and intervention strategies. It will be a key resource to support clinicians and researchers working in brain injury rehabilitation, and will be of great interest to researchers and students in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and allied health disciplines.

Book Synopsis Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation by : Rudi Coetzer
Download or read book Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation written by Rudi Coetzer and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical neuropsychology and neuro-rehabilitation are disciplines that have truly developed at a phenomenal pace over the last couple of decades. Practitioners have had to make a continued commitment to staying up to date. There are many exciting theoretical, clinical and technological developments within the field. However, central to all of these remains the issue of working with persons who have experienced an extreme, life-changing experience. Often persons struggle to make sense of a traumatic brain injury and live life as it is for them now. Because of improved acute medical care, there are more survivors of traumatic brain injury today than ever before. Traumatic brain injury and the resulting disability constitute a major loss for the individual. Assisting persons with coming to terms with the changes after traumatic brain injury is probably one of the essential tasks in many rehabilitation programs taking a longer-term view regarding outcome. This book represents how neuro-rehabilitation has evolved over the past decade and includes exciting new studies in this field.
Book Synopsis Awareness of Deficit After Brain Injury by : George P. Prigatano
Download or read book Awareness of Deficit After Brain Injury written by George P. Prigatano and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides, for the first time, multidisciplinary perspectives on the problem of awareness of deficits following brain injury. Such deficits may involve perception, attention, memory, language, or motor functions, and they can seriously disrupt an individual's ability to function. However, some brain-damaged patients are entirely unaware of the existence or severity of their deficits, even when they are easily noticed by others. In addressing these topics, contributors cover the entire range of neuropsychological syndromes in which problems with awareness of deficit are observed: hemiplegia and hemianopia, amnesia, aphasia, traumatic head injury, dementia, and others. On the clinical side, leading researchers delineate the implications of awareness of deficits for rehabilitation and patient management, and the role of defense mechanisms such as denial. Theoretical discussions focus on the importance of awareness disturbances for better understanding such cognitive processes as attention, consciousness, and monitoring.

Book Synopsis Self-awareness Following Traumatic Brain Injury by : Cally Joy Richardson
Download or read book Self-awareness Following Traumatic Brain Injury written by Cally Joy Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in self-awareness of injury-related difficulties are common sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Inaccurate appraisal of current capacities and limitations can affect engagement in rehabilitation, as well as return to previous activities and relationships with family and friends. Both the aetiology and trajectory of changes in awareness after TBI are likely to be multifactorial, being influenced by various demographic and biopsychosocial factors. The current lack of understanding of the long-term course of awareness and its associated factors post-TBI is, in part, due to challenges and inconsistencies in conceptualising the construct of awareness, in its measurement and a lack of studies examining various potential biopsychosocial influences.The overarching aim of the current doctoral thesis was to extend current understandings of the trajectory of self-awareness and associated biopsychosocial predictors after TBI using psychometrically valid measurement tools. These aims were assessed across three separate studies.Study One examined self-awareness, as measured on the Awareness Questionnaire (AQ), and injury-related, emotional and demographic factors across acute/sub-acute (3-12 months), medium-term (24-60 months) and long-term (120-240 months) time periods post-injury. In contrast to findings from previous studies, awareness was not significantly greater at longer term time periods compared to medium or acute/sub-acute time periods. Combining this with previous research findings suggests that the period over which awareness changes the most may be the first 12 months post-injury. For the AQ motor/sensory domain only, awareness of deficits was greater at longer time periods than earlier time periods. Reduced awareness in the individuals with TBI was associated with more severe injuries and with increased depressive symptoms in close-others. Greater awareness was associated with increased depressive symptoms in the individuals with TBI. These findings shed light on the limitations of discrepancy scores, as they can be influenced by the mood of the rater, as well as level of injury severity. In light of previous studies revealing the efficacy of structured feedback interventions in improving awareness, Study Two explored the relationship between the nature of feedback provided by close-others in the home environment and self-awareness. Injury-related and emotional variables did not emerge as mediating or moderating factors between frequency of feedback and self-awareness. Cognitive and/or behavioural changes post-injury were identified in 97% of individuals with TBI with the majority of these being provided regular feedback by close-others after making errors. Almost 60% of individuals with TBI were reported to identify an error once they received feedback, yet they displayed reduced acceptance/acknowledgement in response. This disparity between high rates of feedback by close-others but low acceptance/acknowledgement by individuals with TBI highlights the need for clinicians to work in partnership with close-others to build supportive relationships for more efficient provision of feedback. Given the inconsistencies in the literature regarding the course of awareness and the limited application of a biopsychosocial framework in the acute/sub-acute stages of recovery following TBI, Study Three adopted a longitudinal design to map the trajectory of awareness, assessed on the Self-Awareness Deficits Interview (SADI), and its association with demographic and biopsychosocial factors in a group of individuals with TBI. Awareness increased significantly over the first year post-injury. However, analysis of the association of biological, cognitive, psychological and social-environmental factors with awareness did not reveal any significant contributions above and beyond the influence of time alone. Gender played a role in awareness of deficits in relation to goal setting, with females setting more realistic goals early in recovery compared to males. Overall it appears that time may be the strongest predictor of change in awareness over the first year post-injury, but beyond this period, injury severity and emotional factors become influential. These findings may be used to guide implementation of interventions to maximise rehabilitative outcomes. Study limitations were explored, highlighting caveats for the interpretation of the results, and directions for further research were discussed.
