Cognitive rehabilitation has over the last decade grown to become an established and influential therapeutic approach. There is now a considerable body if knowledge describing the principles and theoretical basis for analyzing and directing treatments to selective cognitive deficits. Despite this, the clinical effectiveness and extent to which cognitive theory can inform therapeutic treatment has been questioned. In this book, some of the most influential clinicians and cognitive neuroscientists in the world critically review and discuss the effectiveness rehabilitation methods currently used to treat patients with cognitive impairments following acquired brain damage. It provides a much needed critique and consensus about what should constitute best practice.
