This empirically-based book provides conceptual knowledge and
practical advice to enable clinicians to implement evidence-based
methods drawn from learning theory for managing the catastrophic
effects of challenging behaviour as an enduring outcome of acquired
brain injury (ABI). Based on a conceptual framework of
neurobehavioural disability, the book takes a holistic case
formulation approach, incorporating functional assessment
procedures arising from the operant learning tradition which
underpins the design of treatment interventions. It bridges the
knowledge gap in uniquely providing a single resource to enable
practitioners to implement evidence-based methods to better manage
ABI behaviour disorders. The authors, who are leading experts in
the field, have described a model of intervention based on a
functional analytic approach to understanding behaviour within an
operant learning framework. The chapters provide a step-by-step
approach to assessment, formulation, intervention and evaluation of
behaviour support plans, and feature examples for specific
challenging behaviours in a variety of different contexts. The book
is organised to support use of this model through expert
contributions concerning origins of challenging behaviour,
assessment methods and formulation, and interventions. The
practical orientation of the book makes it an indispensable read
for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists and other
rehabilitation specialists involved in the care of people with ABI
as well as researchers in these fields.

Executive disorders represent the most common and most troubling
consequence of brain injury. These are disorders of the most
sophisticated type, and notoriously difficult to assess, understand
and rehabilitate.
This book provides a concise and accessible review of best practice
in the rehabilitation of executive disorders, that is, the ability
to plan and execute actions and control behaviour. The book covers
a wide range of approaches to the rehabilitation of executive
disorders including potential uses of modern technology.
The first section looks at theoretical approaches to executive
disorder. In the second part of the book, clinical advice is
offered for treating disorders. The final section looks at
professional issues, such as the impact of new legislation, risk
assessment, and the involvement of the family in rehabilitation.
With chapters written by leading researchers and clinicians, the
book provides a comprehensive guide to these complex disorders.
