“…The range of impairments and disabilities common to this client group can make a significant impression on the chances of successful reintegration into work and need to be understood by the service providers. After studying the employment outcomes for brain injury survivors following a vocational rehabilitation programme, Haffey and Lewis (1989) suggested that the most significant problems related to cognitive and communicative functions, emotional and behavioural control, reduced cognitive and motor speed, and inappropriate social skills. This list is not unique to Haffey and Lewis' (1989) study but is commonly found in most brain injury literature (Brooks et al, 1987;Wood and Eames, 1989;Rosenthal et al, 1990;Giles and Clark-Wilson, 1993).…”

It highlights the complexities attached to an acquired brain injury, and thereby supports the need for skilled guioance in areas of vocational rehabilitation.…”

“…While vocational evaluation represents the 'traditional curriculum' of rehabilitation counselling, it has nevertheless been tailored to meet the needs of ABI clients whose cognitive deficits and potential psychosocial problems represent greater barriers to vocational recovery than do physical or other sequelae (McMahon et al,1988). There has, in particular, been greater interest in supported employment and the utilisation of compensatory and natural co-worker support strategies (Golden, Smith & Golden, 1993;Haffey & Lewis, 1989;Hurt, 1991;Wehman, Kreutzer, Sale, West, Morton & Diambra, 1989). This trend is a relatively recent phenomenon characterised by higher rates of employment among persons with mild to severe ABI who received intensive neuropsychological and vocational rehabilitation programs (see Crisp, 1992a).…”

Recent rehabilitation counselling literature has pointed to major developments in the contribution of rehabilitation counsellors to acquired brain injury (ABI) rehabilitation. Rehabilitation counsellors have widened their skill base in case management, vocational evaluation, and in the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client. It is evident, however, that better methods of ABI rehabilitation service delivery, including those services provided by rehabilitation counsellors, continue to be sought. Strategies needed to ensure the advancement of rehabilitation counselling practice and research in ABI rehabilitation are discussed, and involve the adoption of a systems approach, a shift away from dominant clinical psychological analyses in favour of psychosocial frameworks, and the co-participation of persons with ABI in the rehabilitation process.

“…Psychosocial adaptation including performance in self-monitoring, impulse-control, and social discrimination exerts considerable influence on outcome (Haffey & Lewis, 1989; Prigatano, 1987a). Despite the importance of these variables, there has been little consensus regarding an appropriate instrument to assess neurobehavioral functioning (Brooks & McKinlay, 1983; Cripe, 1991).…”

The KAS-R1 was completed by relatives of 88 clients who had enrolled in a post-acute rehabilitation program for the treatment of traumatic brain injury. The items were subjected to a principal component analysis. The analysis yielded 10 statistically significant component groups. Internal consistency as determined by Cronbach alpha ranged from .78 to .94. Moderate correlations were observed between a number of component groups suggesting some overlap in components derived. The results suggest that the 127 items of the KAS-R1 form component groups which may represent categorically differentiated behavioral symptoms. Future research is needed to discern the extent to which the component groups describe behavioral phenomena.Perhaps the most prominent and pervasive characteristics of traumatic brain injury are the striking alterations in behavior. The effect of deficits across a wide array of neuropsycholgical functions, coupled with the psychological trauma associated with the disabling condition, often results in neurobehavioral sequelae (Prigatano, 1987a). These manifestations of neurobehavioral alterations was recognized by Goldstein (1952) who coined the term "catastrophic reaction" to characterize observed psychological distress following traumatic brain injury.Neurobehavioral sequelae vary in terms of symptom manifestation and intensity, influenced by the severity of brain injury as well as damage to specific regions. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are often observed in the acute period of recovery, and may include confabulation, agitation, delusions, and hallucinations
