Marvin H. Podd (auth.) book pdf free download.
The purpose of this "Cognitive Remediation for Brain Injury and Neurological Illness: Real Life Changes" book is to help the reader learn more about cognitive remediation and how to develop an effective and efficacious program for patients. After presenting a history of the development of cognitive remediation and the current status of research in the area, the next chapter endeavors to teach treatment planning. Treatment planning is addressed through proper neuro psychological testing and evaluation, with an emphasis on Luria’s concepts of alternate functional systems and double dissociation. Brain recovery following the acute stage and the various underlying mechanisms are reviewed. The use of learning theory principles to implement strategies that might potentiate these mechanisms and produce restitution of function is also presented.
