TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - The behavioural treatment of verbal interaction skills following severe head injury: a single case study JO - Brain injury A1 - Giles, G. M. A1 - Fussey, I. A1 - Burgess, P. SP - 75 EP - 79 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - This study reports the improvement of verbal interaction skills in a 27-year-old severely head-injured male who presented with an inappropriate attention-seeking circumlocutory conversational style. The patient was baselined on verbal response to three differing question forms, and then treated using combined cognitive behavioural methods on a daily sessional basis. Treatment resulted in a significant clinical change out of sessions, whilst the overall in-session improvement proved significant at the 0.05 level. Follow-up at 2 months indicated that the trend of improvement had continued beyond the treatment period.
