Abstract
Increasing survival rates after traumatic brain injury have spawned a proliferation of rehabilitation facilities and treatment programs during the past decade. The proliferation has created a diversity of challenging opportunities for neuropsychologists desiring to meet the full range of patients' needs. For many years, neuropsychology focused on diagnosis of neurological conditions, localization of impairment, and describing performance levels on tests measuring abilities. More recently neuropsychologists have been asked to participate as full members of rehabilitation teams and serve as consultants during the rehabilitation process. Now, on a more routine basis, psychologists are asked to provide family support and education, individual psychotherapy, social skills training, cognitive rehabilitation therapy, and vocational rehabilitation services.
