Abstract
In the past, cognitive and behavioral sequelae of neurological insult were thought to contraindicate psychotherapeutic intervention with brain-damaged adults. Recently, however, the cultivation of awareness of deficits, self-appraisal techniques, and adaptive skills have become important objectives for postacute rehabilitation of such patients. Meeting these objectives can be a critical obstacle to successful community reentry. In this context, psychotherapy is becoming a viable therapeutic tool (Rosenthal, 1989).
