Abstract

Each day many people worldwide suffer a form of acquired brain injury (ABI) due to traumatic and non-traumatic events. ABI can have physical and psychological consequences such as cognitive deficits, emotional distress and behavioral problems. Psychological consequences affect psychosocial functioning, societal participation and quality of life. Clinical neuropsychologists assess cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social consequences and effectively treat accordingly within a biopsychosocial framework. Future research should focus on further understanding and alleviating the psychological consequences from both ends of the brain-behavioral spectrum.
