  • Title: The behavioural treatment of verbal interaction skills following severe head injury: a single case study.
    Author: Giles GM, Fussey I, Burgess P.
    Journal: Brain Inj; 1988; 2(1):75-9. PubMed ID: 2458790.
    Abstract:
    This study reports the improvement of verbal interaction skills in a 27-year-old severely head-injured male who presented with an inappropriate attention-seeking circumlocutory conversational style. The patient was baselined on verbal response to three differing question forms, and then treated using combined cognitive behavioural methods on a daily sessional basis. Treatment resulted in a significant clinical change out of sessions, whilst the overall in-session improvement proved significant at the 0.05 level. Follow-up at 2 months indicated that the trend of improvement had continued beyond the treatment period.
