Recovery and Cognitive Retraining After Craniocerebral Trauma

George P. Prigatano

George P. Prigatano received his PhD in clinical psychology from Bowling Green State University in 1972 and was a visiting scholar in the Department of Psychology. Stanford University, in 1978. Presently he is chairman of neuropsychology. Barrow Neurological Institute. Address: George P. Prigatano, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, 350 West Thomas Rd., Phoenix, AZ. 85013.

Historical and present-day ideas concerning recovery of higher brain functions and so-called cognitive retraining are the focus of this article. Clinical guidelines for helping patients understand and compensate for residual higher cerebral deficits are suggested. A holistic or milieu oriented program is considered the most helpful form of intervention at this time. The use of pharmacological treatment, coupled with educational activities, is also discussed.
