DESCRIPTION:The application  of psychological theory to clinical practice\
 nBarbara A Wilson\nPractising clinical and neuro psychologists working in 
 adult brain injury rehabilitation use a range of theoretical approaches in
  their clinical work.  In 2002 Wilson published a model of rehabilitation 
 arguing that rehabilitation is one of many fields needing a broad theoreti
 cal base incorporating frameworks\, theories and models from many differen
 t areas. Being constrained by one theoretical model can lead to poor clini
 cal practice. This lecture considers some of the theories and models which
  have had the most influence on the field of neuropsychological rehabilita
 tion. Included are theories and models of cognitive functioning\, learning
 \, assessment\, emotion\, recovery and plasticity as well as broad based m
 odels such as holistic and social models. We consider how theories and mod
 els are employed directly or indirectly in our clinical work. The importan
 ce of combining clinical work with research is emphasised. Clinical exampl
 es are used to illustrate the points made. The presentation concludes with
  guidelines for good clinical practice all of which have derived from clin
 ical research.  \n\n\nBrief Biography of  Barbara A Wilson\nBarbara Wilson
