Abstract
Brain illnesses cause tremendous, long-lasting, and usually increasing burdens on families (Kay & Cavallo, 1994; Livingston & Brooks, 1988; Vitaliano et al., 1989). Burden is most closely related to personality and behavior changes in the person with the brain injury, secondarily related to cognitive changes, and least related to physical changes. Burden depends on an interaction between pre-illness personality, the type of personality change present, and the personalities, roles, and resources of specific family members (Brooks, 1991; Livingston & Brooks; Mintz, Van Horn, & Levine, 1995).
