Cognitive and psychological flexibility after a traumatic brain injury and the implications for treatment in acceptance-based therapies: A conceptual review
Overview
This conceptual review examines the relationship between cognitive and psychological flexibility for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), focusing on acceptance-based therapies like ACT. The authors discuss the overlaps between neuropsychological executive function and clinical well-being, noting that while TBI often impairs cognitive flexibility, it may not be a prerequisite for improving psychological flexibility through therapy. The resource highlights the need for further research to clarify the utility of these interventions in TBI populations.
