Traumatic Brain Injury - Australian Article
Over the past three decades, there has been a significant growth of interest in the study of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Although physical disabilities are associated with TBI, the more prominent and common impairments are psychological in nature and
involve deficits in attention, memory and executive functions, communication difficulties, and behaviour and personality changes.
Psychology has contributed much to understanding the mechanisms of injury and recovery following TBI, the nature of the cognitive,
behavioural and emotional sequelae of TBI and predictors of psychosocial outcome, and effective models of rehabilitation and management.
These contributions, and the central role of psychologists in assisting with the complex and challenging problems of TBI for its survivors, their relatives and clinicians, are highlighted in this article.
