PSYC33H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Receptive Aphasia, Global Aphasia, Smoking Cessation
Document Summary
This lecture addresses the two sub-groups of abi: patients who typically make a partial recovery, patients who suffer from neurological illnesses that are degenerative and progressive. Frustration: mile abi more susceptible (compared to before) Why emotional reactions are under-addressed in in-patient. Only recently did neuropsychological rehabilitation begin to scan for emotional problems/reactions. Negative emotions may not arise until after the acute (right as you get injury) or sub- acute stage o. Because first emotions experienced, reflect happiness to be alive. Lack of comfort with emotional difficulties: don"t like to talk about emotions. Can"t use past behaviour as a predictor of future (coping changes) (e. g. personality changes, etc. ) Emotional difficulties are caused by an interaction of neurogenic and psychogenic changes (in addition to cognitive changes) Patients with abi typically experience physical/medical; cognitive and psychological/emotional changes: examples: ability of speech, physically impaired, concentration, etc.
