Rehabilitation of Executive Disorders: A guide to theory and practice

Editat de Michael Oddy, Andrew Worthington
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2008
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.
