Around 10 million people in the UK suffer from a neurological
disorder, one million of whom are disabled by their condition.
Neurological disorders that can affect cognitive functioning
include stroke, head injury, multiple sclerosis and dementia.
Historically the emphasis within neurology has been on
diagnosis. Now neurologists also have to train in
neuro-rehabilitation in order to help patients to cope with their
condition, and they increasingly work within multi-disciplinary
teams.
The bulk of the book is formed of sessions plans for the six
sessions over which the group may be run. The session plans
includes a ‘script’ for the facilitator, slides and
handouts. The introductory chapter will review the literature
supporting the implementation of such groups, and the final chapter
will go through some of the frequently asked questions.
