Preface

One of the most devastating consequences of damage to the brain is the effects on cognitive processing, which can have a profound effect on vocational, financial, health, and social functioning. While concentrated research on recovery of function from brain damage dates back to at least the late 1800s, much of the early studies that can be considered “rehabilitation” came following the two World Wars from leaders such as Kurt Goldstein and Alexander Luria. However, direct programmatic clinical services designed to improve cognitive functioning following such damage really saw its growth in earnest around the 1970s.
