Abstract
This chapter examines various attempts to enhance the natural recovery of attentional processes, or to better manage the consequences of impairment, following brain injury acquired in adulthood. The results reviewed give grounds for cautious optimism. However, rehabilitation is about working with patients to achieve functional goals in everyday life. If the promising findings showing changes on neuropsychological tests are to usefully filter through to clinical care, the extent to which these translate into meaningful functional improvements must be evaluated.
