Modifying the denial of symptoms following severe head injuries

The Rehabilitation Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge

Patients who do not recognise their disabilities are extremely difficult to treat and manage. This paper describes a method by which feedback about errors was provided for a patient who could not acknowledge that his intellectual function was impaired following a severe head injury. This brought about a shift in his attitude and aided his successful resettlement. The nature of denial following brain injury is discussed.
