Abstract

Structures and practice of psychological units in neurological rehabilitation centres treating post-stroke patients are described. A nationwide survey of psychological services in neurological rehabilitation centres was conducted. Psychologist-patient ratios differed greatly among rehabilitation centres. Post-stroke patients showed a variety of complex problems. Psychological interventions mainly comprised diagnostic evaluation as well as individual interventions and cognitive training. The complex and manifold problems of patients in neurological rehabilitation require a comprehensive knowledge of (neuro)psychological functioning. In order to support appropriate and individual treatment decisions, practice guidelines for psychological interventions in the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients are necessary. The present survey constitutes the basis for developing such practice guidelines.
