Introduction
anxiety, depressive symptoms, brain injury, cognitive deficits
Acquired brain injury can lead to physical disabilities, persistent cognitive deficits, behavioural dysregulations and emotional consequences.Previous articles have pointed out the possible beneficial effect of acceptance and commitment therapy for people with acquired brain injury.The possible cognitive deficits of people with acquired brain injury can form a challenge during therapy.Recently, we developed the BrainACT intervention. This is an acceptance and commitment therapy intervention modified to the needs and possible cognitive deficits of people with acquired brain injury. The effectiveness of the BrainACT treatment was studied using a single case experimental design, where three out of the four participants experienced improvements regarding, anxiety and depressive symptoms, cognitive fusion, quality of life and stress.
