About this issue
The paper discusses cognitive rehabilitation as a complex multidimensional process that involves patients, their families and their physical and social environment. A series of studies conducted by the author and her research team on patients with closed head injury, schizophrenia and epilepsy have shown that behaviour modification, cognitive stimulation and substitutiontransfer techniques can be very successful in dealing with the cognitive, emotional and behavioural problems of patients with brain injury. It is stressed here that cognitive rehabilitation achieves the greatest improvement in a client’s cognitive functioning by training better thought processes, and by interventions that enhance two or more other modes of processing. The paper focuses on the home-based cognitive intervention programmes. The cooperation, involvement and support of the family members play vital role in bringing about significant improvement in the brain-injured patients. Need for conducting awareness programmes for educating patients, their family members and even medical professionals with regard to the nature of cognitive deficits and knowledge of what can be successfully treated has been highlighted.
