Understanding Everybody's Behavior After Brain Injury: Don't "Don't"
Behavior is often one of brain injury’s most perplexing challenges, but not all problems belong to the injured person. Spouses, children, friends, family and bosses, even therapists and caregivers, are equally susceptible! This book helps you understand behavior and how a person’s behavior is affected by other events and circumstances as much as the actual injury. It covers the many different types of people, places, and resources that are involved. Everybody can work together more effectively when behavior is demystified.
Don’t “Don’t!” TM is not a “quick fix” that provides 10 magic formulas to change other people’s behavior whether they want to or not! Effective behavior change involves collaboration and coordination by all involved parties. It focuses on helping people succeed instead of stopping people from doing “bad things!”
Problem behaviors usually occur when people don’t have better opportunities to achieve their goals. Find a better solution and the problem is usually resolved. Emphasizing do’s over don’ts offers everybody tremendous benefits. For starters, it recognizes the dignity, rights and responsibilities of everybody who is involved.
