ABSTRACT

Neuropsychological rehabilitation is increasingly challenged to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of its methods. This chapter discusses along with potential solutions that could help to advance evidence base. It finds treatments labelled with the names of 'packages', such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in neuropsychological rehabilitation. In neuropsychological rehabilitation, as in the field of rehabilitation more broadly, there is a notable imbalance in the precision with which various parts of the rehabilitation process are conceptualised, labelled and measured. The chapter encourages practitioners of neuropsychological rehabilitation to explore such conceptual models in other branches of psychology and medicine. As a result, however, they typically require larger samples to demonstrate superiority of one approach over the other. As an example of a PCT in neuropsychological rehabilitation, Cicerone et al. A moment's reflection will confirm that these conditions are impossible to satisfy for the majority of rehabilitation trials, including those involving neuropsychological treatments.
