“…Anne-Lise Christensen (1927-2018, influenced by the work of Ben-Yishay and Prigatano, founded a holistic program in 1985, the Center for Hjerneskade in Copenhagen (Denmark) (Caetano and Christensen, 1999). In 1991, Marja-Liisa Kaipio created a holistic program at the Käpylä Rehabilitation Centre (Kaipio et al, 2000;Sarajuuri and Koskinen, 2006). In November 1996, the Oliver Zangwill Center was inaugurated in Ely (England), thanks to the perseverance and tenacity of Barbara A.…”

In the 1970s and 1980s, a multitude of cognitive rehabilitation programs proliferated to facilitate recovery after brain injury. However only a few programs provided a framework for ameliorating disturbances in the cognitive, psychological, and interpersonal spheres of the brain-injured patient. Greatly influenced by Leonard Diller and Yehuda Ben-Yishay’s ideas and methods, George P. Prigatano began, in early 1980, a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program at the Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma). The objective of this paper is to summarize the contributions of George P. Prigatano to neuropsychological rehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology during his 50th year of practice. The main body of the paper is structured in three sections. The first section briefly explains the history of neuropsychological rehabilitation in the twentieth century and the emergence of holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation programs in the 1970s. The second section describes the contributions of George P. Prigatano to neuropsychological rehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology (written by AGM). In the third section, the second author (GPP) prepared an autobiographical statement, which attempts to summarize some of the personal and professional experiences which influenced his work. George P. Prigatano’s contributions to neuropsychological rehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology are essential to understanding the therapeutic approaches currently used in the treatment of brain-injured patients.

“…The role of psychotherapy in neuropsychological rehabilitation has not only expanded, but has been now recognized as an important service [8,24,27,37,46,51]. One can read about multiple forms of psychotherapy from cognitive behavioral therapy, neuropsychotherapy, psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy, self-psychology directed psychotherapy, and Jungian approaches to psychotherapy in this patient population [27,40].…”

BACKGROUND: Holistic approaches to neuropsychological rehabilitation have progressively been recognized as an important form of rehabilitative care for persons who have a history of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. OBJECTIVE: After providing historical and contemporary perspectives, identify challenges and opportunities facing the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation. METHODS: Selective literature review from neuropsychological rehabilitation, neurosciences, learning theory, cognitive neuropsychology, and psychotherapy that highlight challenges to the development of holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation. RESULTS: Ten challenges and associated opportunities that face the field of holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation are identified. Illustrations of these challenges and opportunities are provided. CONCLUSIONS: Effectively addressing the challenges that face holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation will result in greater advances for this field of care for both children and adults.

“…The INSURE has been under development since 1991, and has been used in its present form since 1993. It has been described in detail elsewhere (Kaipio et al, 2000). The INSURE population forms a subgroup of around 220 TBI patients treated annually in the Käpylä Rehabilitation Centre, which is a nationwide rehabilitation centre for neurological patients.…”

“…The INSURE program (Individualized Neuropsychological Subgroup Rehabilitation Program) is a post‐acute, interdisciplinary, 6‐week rehabilitation program for selected groups of TBI patients. The core of the program is neuropsychological rehabilitation and psychotherapy (Kaipio, Sarajuuri, & Koskinen, 2000). In recent years, a holistic rehabilitation program was established in Turku, Finland, for children with acquired brain injury.…”

Given the interaction of cognitive, behavioural, psychological, and physical factors resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI), a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and neuropsychologically oriented rehabilitation could prove to be particularly promising and efficacious in the neuropsychological rehabilitation of post‐acute brain‐injured individuals. Kurt Goldstein, an eminent pioneer in the development of holistic rehabilitation, stated that brain‐injured patients need environments that help them to avoid catastrophic reactions. In his view, the tasks of rehabilitation are to create, for the brain‐injured individual, an environment that will minimize the chances for the occurrence of catastrophic responses. In this environment, the individual can engage optimally in various remedial activities, which will gradually culminate in the individual finding new meaning in life after rehabilitation. Yehuda Ben‐Yishay incorporated many of Goldstein's ideas and developed a milieu or holistic rehabilitation program in 1978 in New York. The emerging role of psychotherapy for patients and their family members was characteristic of the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Program that Prigatano established in 1980 in Oklahoma. In Europe, Anne‐Lise Christensen, who was also influenced by the work of A. R. Luria, started a holistic program at Copenhagen University in 1985. Based on these pioneering programs, several similar programs were established in Europe. A Finnish program, INSURE, was established in 1993 in Helsinki. The INSURE program is a post‐acute, interdisciplinary, 6‐week rehabilitation program for selected groups of TBI patients. The core of the program is neuropsychological rehabilitation and psychotherapy with vocational interventions, and follow‐up support. In recent years, a holistic rehabilitation program was also established in Turku for children with acquired brain injury. The European Holistic Working Group was founded in 2001, and the authors will also discuss their personal experiences and future of holistic neurospychological rehabilitation in terms of ongoing research work, computer‐administered cognitive remediation, and quality of life assessment.
