Whether caused by illness, accident, or incident, brain injury
requires multi-tiered resources for the patient and considerable
external care and support. When recovery is sidelined by
depression, anger, grief, or turmoil, family members and the
support network have critical roles to play and need their own
guidance and compassionate therapeutic interventions. Psychotherapy
for Families after Brain Injury offers theoretical frameworks and
eclectic techniques for working effectively with adult patients and
their families at the initial, active and post-treatment phases of
rehabilitation. This practical reference clarifies roles and
relationships of the support network in interfacing with the loved
one and addresses the understandably devastating and sometimes
derailing emotions and psychosocial adversities. The content
promotes psychoeducation and guided exercises, delineates "helpful
hints" and coping tools and proffers multimedia resources to
overcome hurdles. Constructs of awareness, acceptance and realism
for all parties are woven throughout, along with ideas to enhance
the support network's commitment, adjustment, positivity, hope and
longevity. Case excerpts, instructive quotes from caregivers and
nuggets of clinical advice assist in analyzing these and other
topics in salient detail: The impact of brain injury on different
family members. Treatment themes in early family sessions. Family
therapy for moderate to severe brain injury, concussion and
postconcussion syndrome. Family therapy after organic brain injury:
stroke, anoxia, tumor, seizure disorders. Family group treatment
during active rehabilitation. End-of-life and existential
considerations and positive aspects of care giving. Aftercare group
therapy for long-term needs. The hands-on approach demonstrated in
Psychotherapy for Families after Brain Injury will enhance the
demanding work of a range of professionals, including
neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, rehabilitation
psychologists, family therapists, marriage and family counselors,
psychiatrists, behavioral/mental health counselors, clinical social
workers, rehabilitation specialists such as speech-language
pathologists, physical and occupational therapists, and graduate
students in the helping professions.
