Neuropsychological Rehabilitation:

Rehabilitation is a process whereby people, who have been injured by injury or illness, work together with health service staff and others to achieve their optimum level of physical, psychological, social and vocational well-being.

Neuropsychological rehabilitation (NR) is concerned with the amelioration of cognitive, emotional, psychosocial, and behavioral deficits caused by an insult to the brain. Neuropsychological rehabilitation is the process of helping a patient to recover the functions which are impaired due to brain damage.

Although neuropsychological rehabilitation is partly concerned with the remediation or alleviation of emotional, behavioural and motor consequences of brain injury, it is probably true to say that the major role of neuropsychological rehabilitation is the treatment of cognitive deficits resulting from damage to the brain.

It extensively uses cognitive retraining to improve the impaired functions. Neuropsychological rehabilitation includes those psychological procedures, which are targeting the damaged functions.
