abstract="OBJECTIVE: To explore ethical issues in using deception to improve participation in a patient with severe traumatic brain injury who had not responded to traditional behavioral and pharmacologic approaches. <br><br>DESIGN: Case study. PARTICIPANT: A male in inpatient neurorehabilitation with history of severe traumatic brain injury and significant behavioral disruption that limited his therapy participation. <br><br>METHODS: Behavior modification program using principles of operant conditioning that required deception. <br><br>RESULTS: Participation in therapies significantly improved and disruptive behaviors decreased. <br><br>CONCLUSION: When used cautiously and with careful consideration of the ethical implications, deception may be permissible as part of an intervention strategy with this population but only as a last resort.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
