The Cognitive Rehabilitation Manual; Translating Evidence-Based Recommendations into Practice is a significant contribution to the field of brain injury rehabilitation. Never before has research outcomes been made so accessible for use in everyday clinical work. This important volume will raise the bar in cognitive rehabilitation by aiding clinicians in delivering high-quality, empirically-supported interventions to improve the lives of the patients we serve.

Cognitive rehabilitation is a dynamic practice between the clinician and the client, not fitting into a typical treatment protocol. This manual provides the kind of support that clinicians need to develop effective and evidence based treatment plans.

Dr. Haskins and his team provided a very in depth and precise perspective to cognitive remediation therapy and the goals and objectives needed to meet these needs.

Now Available – The ACRM Cognitive Rehabilitation Manual & Textbook SECOND EDITION

The ACRM Cognitive Rehabilitation Manual & Textbook Second Edition represents an exhaustive update and expansion of the previous volume, organized as a graduate-level textbook with extensive instructor resources. New content is based on the most recently published evidence-based review (Cicerone et al. 2019) and includes 12 new or updated treatment recommendations and five new chapters that address function neuroanatomy, single-case methodology for clinical practice, group and comprehensive holistic rehabilitation, implementing and individualizing interventions, and an overview of web-based and other resources. We have integrated updated content throughout the original six first-edition chapters; these include an introductory chapter on conceptualizing, planning and goal-setting for individualized cognitive rehabilitation interventions, and dedicated chapters on implementing evidence-based interventions for impairments in attention, memory, executive functioning, visuospatial functions and apraxia, and social communication.
