Summary

This empirically-based book provides conceptual knowledge and practical advice to enable clinicians to implement evidence-based methods drawn from learning theory for managing the catastrophic effects of challenging behaviour as an enduring outcome of acquired brain injury (ABI).

Managing Challenging Behaviour Following Acquired Brain Injury Summary

Managing Challenging Behaviour Following Acquired Brain Injury: Assessment, Intervention and Measuring Outcomes by Nick Alderman

Bridges a significant knowledge gap, offering practical 'how to' guidance for clinicians to implement evidence-based methods to better manage ABI behaviour disorders.

Describes state-of-the-art processes by current UK experts in the subject area.

Avoids polarisation by assuming a holistic stance to rehabilitation that is based on a functional analytic approach to understanding behaviour within an operant learning framework.

Highlights the importance of neurocognitive factors in the maintenance of ABI behaviour disorders and the need to take the effect these have in formulation and treatment planning.
