title: Psychotherapy with "mild" brain-injured patients.
abstract: A review of neuropsychological studies reveals that patients with mild brain injuries suffer from a wide range of cognitive, physical, and emotional problems. Yet, their symptoms may be overlooked because of inadequate assessment. Family involvement and group work are described as beneficial for these patients. Individual psychotherapy is indicated for those who have a more realistic perception of their skill level, can adjust to a new self, and are able to manage emotional reactions.
