In this David Strauss Clinical webinar, Dawn Neumann, Ph.D., FACRM will describe newly identified factors, known as negative attributions, that significantly contribute to anger and aggression after brain injury. Dr. Neumann will demonstrate two assessments that can be used to clinically evaluate a patient’s tendency toward negative attributions and describe a new clinical approach for treating anger and aggression associated with negative attributions called Intervention to Change Attributions that are Negative (ICAN).
Learning Objectives:
- Explain what negative attributions are and their relation to anger and aggression after brain injury.
- Discuss assessments that can be used to evaluate patients for negative attribution style thinking.
- Describe the ICAN approach to treating anger and aggression.
Includes 1 ACBIS CEU.
