Writes New Book on Behavior After Brain Injury
Dr. Harvey Jacobs, noted psychologist and author, has just released his newest book, Understanding Everybody's Behavior After Brain Injury: Don't "Don't". This innovative and comprehensive new book approaches effective behavior changes as a process that involves collaboration and coordination by all concerned parties. Problem behavior can also occur when other people, places and programs do not understand a person's unique abilities. So the book was written for families, staff, clinicians, advocates and therapists to help find a better solution...then the problem can usually be resolved. Dr. Jacobs' emphasis on the "dos" over the "don'ts" offers tremendous benefits for everybody. For starters, it recognizes the dignity, rights and responsibilities of everyone involved. It also recognizes each participant as a full and valued person rather than a problem. The accompanying workbook has exercises that strongly emphasize people's abilities.
