Perspectives on behavior and acquired brain injury

Abstract

Behavior! When most people associate behavior with acquired brain injury (ABI) they identify problems; problems ranging from aggression and agitation to non-compliance and depression (Baguley, Cooper, Felmingham, 2006; Jorge, Robinson, Moser, Tateno, Crespo-Facorro, Arndt, 2004; Kim, 2002). Requested treatment goals often focus on the cessation of aberrant actions on the part of the individual, frequently using a selected armamentarium of consequence based procedures or medication. Not infrequently, staff or family members may exasperate that “we’ve tried everything else, so I guess we’re left with behavioral procedures!” Per everybody’s hope, the person of focus, typically the person who experiences disability following ABI, will ultimately “get it,” heals, or achieves a new homeostasis. This person also often has only a limited say in developing treatment plans. However, behavior is not limited to unsanctioned actions. It constitutes all of our actions and representations to others – the interaction of an organism (person) with their environment. “Behavior” includes competencies as well as incompentencies, function as well as dysfunction, and expands beyond classical behavioral paradigms. A promising literature has developed regarding facilitation of individual capacity in light of notable neurological, cognitive, emotional and behavioral impairment (Ylvisaker and Feeney, 1998; Ylvisaker, Jacobs, Feeney, 2003). Not surprisingly, these proactive approaches also often reduce or
