Document Summary

Pts tend to have both cognitive and non-cognitive problems, behavioral, social and sometimes emotional problems. Neuropsych: the study of the relationship btwn brain and behavior. Major diff btwn academic and clinical neuropsychs is the manner in which the needs of brain injured ppl are determined. Academic neuropsychs- believe that detailed assessments inform by theoretical models highlight areas that require rehab. Clinical neuropsychs- they don"t care about theories but rather target real life problems identified by pts and family. Neuropsych rehabiliation: a 2 way interactive process wherby ppl who are disabled by injury or disease wrk together w/professional staff, family, and community to achieve their optimal physical, psych, social and vocational well being. In the past the rehab staff determined wat areas to wrk on, what goals to set, and what was/wasn"t achievable. Where as today, clients/families are asked about their expectations, and rehab goals are discussed & negotiated btwn all parties involved.
