ABSTRACT
Brain injury presents a hugely complex, and sometimes daunting arena for the rehabilitation professional. With disruption to a person's core sense of self being almost the sine qua non of brain injury, rehabilitation can cover physical, psychological, social, philosophical and psychiatric realms. Those with brain injury can also be amongst the most vulnerable people in our society. Their rehabilitation has profound implications socio-politically, both in how we seek to understand disturbance in others, and also how we strive to ameliorate it. Whilst both theory and practice have grown exponentially over the last two decades, there is still no formal training or qualification within the brain injury rehabilitation field. This paper discusses the need for such formal training at both a theoretical and practical level not only for clinicians but also for front line staff, families and primary care services. The difficulties inherent in providing co-ordinated and structured training in such a complex area are discussed, and finally a model that attempts to meet user needs is outlined.
