Abstract
Acquired brain injury (ABI) affects thousands in the UK. Whilst prior research identifies a role concerning affect and identity resolution after injury for improving rehabilitative prospects, current research and practice undervalues these factors in the context of ABI. The present study explored identity reformation and experiences to understand the underlying psychological impact of ABI on identity. Six individuals with ABI participated in semi-structured interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used, with analysis observing ABI as an estranging condition both intra- and inter-personally. Consequently recommendations for addressing the area both methodologically and in practice are made, including proposals for future research geared at piloting a novel integrative community scheme for ABI individuals.
