Neuroanatomically informed psychotherapy after mild brain injury: a single-case report of clinical improvement
Overview
This single-case report describes an adult with mild acquired brain injury who received individualized ACT guided by diffusion tensor imaging and neuropsychological assessments. The treatment prioritized attentional and experiential strategies compatible with preserved white-matter networks, avoiding complex verbal-analytic processing. After approximately 40 sessions over one year, the client showed reduced anxiety and improved cognitive flexibility without structural brain changes.
