Abstract

Comprehensive holistic neuropsychologic rehabilitation programs offer integrated multimodal treatments that emphasize improvement in self-awareness and acceptance of altered life status along with teaching compensatory skills for adequately coping with residual impairments and disabilities. A holistic program is suited to address the specific needs of patients in postacute rehabilitation settings. Some of the central problems accompanying cognitive deficits due to brain damage are the individual’s unawareness of problems, failure to acknowledge limitations resulting from the brain damage, and inability to take advantage of the remedial steps toward the correction of functionally incapacitating deficits due to problems in malleability. The milieu provides a dynamic community for people drawn together by the consequences of their respective brain injuries, each with obstacles to be tested and overcome. The loss experienced with brain injury, however, poses a somewhat different situation.
