A Brief Overview of Four Principles of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Throughout the United States and Europe, economic support for various health-related services is diminishing. As part of this economic tidal wave, rehabilitation services for persons with an acquired brain injury likewise have been reduced. The failure to clarify which types of rehabilitation services are efficacious for specific patient groups has further compounded this problem. Too often, no clear scientific database is available to counter decisions based more on economic concerns than on the needs of patients (Prigatano, 1996b).
