Abstract
Neuropsychological rehabilitation can be defined as those teaching or training activities aimed at improving cognitive and personality functioning following brain injury. Elsewhere, I have attempted to define the terms “cognition” and “personality” and the two complementary activities constituting neuropsychological rehabilitation: namely, cognitive retraining and psychotherapy (Prigatano et al. 1986). The focus of this presentation will be to discuss the problem of altered self-awareness after brain injury and briefly relate it to the various goals and activities involved in neuropsychological holistically oriented rehabilitation.
