Principles of Cognitive Rehabilitation is designed to familiarize readers with the deep-rooted principles of cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive training. Presenting a new comprehensive framework in cognitive rehabilitation for therapeutic, educational, and research purposes, this volume introduces five components are introduced for cognitive rehabilitation including primary principles, patient, practitioner, program, and process (5Ps). Detailing the developmental stages of a program will help readers understand the logistics of interventions, and help design and evaluate their own therapeutic interventions.
- Outlines a new comprehensive framework in cognitive rehabilitation for therapeutic, educational and research purposes
- Discusses experimental results and evidence related to cognitive rehabilitation
- Features the codification of principles into five core components to organize a process of remediation
- Describes future perspectives in the field
