Family Therapy:
Families are seen with and without the client to facilitate their
understanding of the nature of the injury, provided an opportunity for
input into effective treatment planning,
promote adjustment to acceptance of limitations, and enroll cooperation
with reinforcing treatment goals.
This treatment provides interpretation of deficits and behavior to family
members and provides guidelines or techniques for managing and enhancing
function of the TBI person by family members. In addition, family members
have the opportunity to deal with their own emotional reaction to the
effects of the brain injury and its impact on the family. When family
members have reached psychological acceptance of the new reality they are
much more effective in helping the client reach treatment goals.
