Self-Identity After Brain Injury

This is the first book to provide a clear and comprehensive account of the impact of brain injury on self-identity. It also provides an in-depth review of clinical strategies for assessing changes in self-identity after brain injury, and rehabilitation approaches for supporting individuals to maintain or re-establish a positive post-injury identity. It will be a key resource to support clinicians and researchers working in brain injury rehabilitation, and will also be of great interest to researchers and students in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and allied health disciplines.
