NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION

by natalia jurado / Friday, 28 December 2018 / Published in Treatment

What is it?

Neuropsychological rehabilitation is an active process that helps patients and their families to better understand the alterations they present, develop strategies that allow them to compensate for these neuropsychological alterations and optimise higher functions.

 

Who is it for?

This neuropsychological consultation is aimed at patients with cognitive, behavioural and emotional disorders secondary to a brain injury:

  • Cognitive: Orientation, attention, speed of information processing, language, memory, calculation or executive functions.
  • Behavioural: Impulsiveness, irritability, disinhibition, aggressiveness, apathy, lack of initiative.
  • Emotional: Adaptive disorder, anxiety, depression, emotional lability.

 

Techniques used

The techniques and procedures used in treatment using neuropsychological rehabilitation will be determined according to the established therapeutic objectives:

  • Techniques of restoration, compensation and modification of the environment for the treatment of cognitive alterations.
  • Behaviour modification techniques to improve behavioural control.
  • Neuropsychotherapy with the aim of facilitating the adaptation process, as well as tackling emotional aspects and deficit awareness.

 

Types of intervention

Individual sessions of neuropsychological treatment lasting one hour.

  • Patient intervention: The individualised intervention focuses on the specific neuropsychological alterations of the patient and their functional repercussions in his/her daily life. An individualised therapeutic plan will be established with specific objectives to improve cognitive performance, increase deficit awareness, understand functional repercussions, regulate behaviour and adapt it to the environment, and facilitate the process of emotional adaptation, adjusting expectations and establishing new objectives.
  • Family intervention: The neuropsychological treatment includes the family in order to carry out psychoeducation of the alterations presented, get to know the consequences of neuropsychological alterations (cognitive, behavioural and emotional), facilitate guidelines and strategies to know how to act in certain situations, as well how to provide emotional support and adaptation to the new situation.

The intensity of the treatments (frequency of sessions) will be determined by each professional according to their clinical criteria, taking into account the characteristics of the patient, the therapeutic objectives and the evolution of the patient.
