Pathophysiology and Behavioral Recovery

  • Chapter
Clinical Neuropsychology of Intervention

Abstract

Concerted efforts in treating cognitive deficits after insults to the brain have been met with both enthusiasm and doubt, and have produced both satisfactory results and undocumented claims. While not within the framework of diagnostic lesion localization, intervention has not been entirely ignored by neuropsychology [1, 2]. Much of the work of Luria [3, 4] focuses on rehabilitation, and a surge of activity has lately appeared in this area [5, 6, 7, 8].
