ABSTRACT

Brain injury rehabilitation can be as ethically challenging as it is professionally and personally rewarding. The interdisciplinary nature of most rehabilitation settings, the severity of many of the brain injuries sustained, the frequent existence of multiple comorbidities, and degree of family involvement are just a few of the factors that contribute to professional and ethical challenges in neurorehabilitation. In additional, issues that may seem to be beyond the immediate influence of the clinician, such as legislation and institutional policy, affect the nature of neuropsychological services and must be considered in discussions of rehabilitation ethics.
