Injury, Virginia Commonwealth University
Medical College

1988. Brain injury creates an unfolding set of problems for the family
of the injured person. Often it takes years for the long term impact of the
injury to become fully apparent to the family. In the meantime they are often
called on to make important and difficult decisions concerning the care of
their injured family member. The relationship between the individual's family
and the rehabilitation treatment team can be either a great help or yet
another burden for the family. Better communication and understanding between
professionals and family members can make the family "part of the
team" and allow professionals and family members to benefit from each
other's knowledge of the individual with brain injury.
