    Abstract:
    The need for developing team cooperation procedures when treating patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is stated. One approach in promoting team cooperation is to combine team development with a specific training programme. A memory training programme used in a subacute TBI rehabilitation unit is described. A combination of a team development procedure and memory training programme was performed in the unit. A questionnaire to assess team members' attitudes to team cooperation was administered before and after team development, and memory training procedures were implemented. The post-training questionnaire administration indicated a more positive perception among team members of how the team functioned. The efficacy of memory training showed variable results. The programme described may illustrate the advantages of combining a specific treatment programme with efforts to promote team development.
