How Can Families Help in the Rehabilitation of the Head Injured?

McKinlay, William W.; Hickox, Anne

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, v3 n4 p64-72 Dec 1988

Two head-injured patients were treated for memory difficulties and two for temper control problems. The patients were taught memory aids and anger management strategies in a program emphasizing the role of relatives as co-therapists in ameliorating rehabilitation problems. Three obstacles to progress (denial, guilt, and family roles) are discussed. (JDD)
