Abstract

Behavioral change after head injury is a multiply determined event which requires careful assessment of biologic, psychologic, and social parameters prior to the initiation of a treatment plan. Under certain conditions, the prudent use of neuropsychopharmacologic agents may substantially augment the rehabilitation process. While some data exist relative to therapeutic efficacy of these agents, further investigation is required to better define the complementary roles of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial intervention in these individuals.
