An injury to the brain can affect virtually any aspect of
functioning and, at the deepest level, can alter sense of self or
the essential qualities that define who we are. In recent years,
there has been a growing body of research investigating changes to
self in the context of brain injury. Developments in the cognitive
and social neurosciences, psychotherapy and neurorehabilitation
have together provided a rich perspective on self and identity
reformation after brain injury. This book draws upon these
theoretical perspectives and research findings to provide a
comprehensive account of the impact of brain injury on
self-identity. The second half of this book provides an in-depth
review of clinical strategies for assessing changes in
self-identity after brain injury, and of rehabilitation approaches
for supporting individuals to maintain or re-establish a positive
post-injury identity. The book emphasizes a shift in clinical
orientation, from a traditional focus on alleviating impairments,
to a focus on working collaboratively with people to support them
to re-engage in valued activities and find meaning in their lives
after brain injury. Self-Identity after Brain Injury is the first
book dedicated to self-identity issues after brain injury which
integrates theory and research, and also assessment and
intervention strategies. It will be a key resource to support
clinicians and researchers working in brain injury rehabilitation,
and will be of great interest to researchers and students in
clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and allied health
disciplines.
