Klappentext

Living Beyond Brain Injury: A Guide for Professionals is a professional supplement to Living Beyond Brain Injury: A Compassionate Resilient Guide for Survivors designed for use when survivors require structured, scaffolded rehabilitation in their everyday environments.

Drawing on the Supervisory Attentional System model and the Compassionate Resilient Mindset, it provides a framework for neuropsychological rehabilitation delivered through support workers and multidisciplinary teams. The manual offers psychoeducational resources, structured approaches to goal setting, intervention planning, and progress monitoring, alongside practical tools and worksheets to guide real-world application. Emphasis is placed on promoting independence, goal-directed action, and sustainable adaptation while avoiding unintentional dependency. Guidance is also provided on how to systematically fade scaffolded support, enabling survivors to consolidate skills, increase confidence, and strengthen resilience, ensuring rehabilitation remains both compassionate and scientifically grounded.

This manual is intended for rehabilitation professionals delivering neuropsychological rehabilitation through support workers and the multidisciplinary team. It offers particular support for clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists, while also providing valuable guidance for case managers, occupational therapists, and support workers working within this structured model.
