Malia and Anne Brannagan realised a long time ago that the cognitive
functioning of the people they served was central in the day-to-day
success
of individuals with brain injuries. Yet, cognitive rehabilitation
therapy
(CRT) was difficult to access and often difficult to deliver without
practical hands on interventions that directly related to a person's
real-life needs.
In
their two manuals on How to do Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy,
the
authors have conceptualised a model for CRT that provides treatment
strategies that can be generalised into everyday settings, including
home,
work and community.
Easy
to read and understand, both manuals present wonderful examples
and
exercises that can be used by professionals providing CRT services
to
individuals with brain injuries.
