Group therapy with the antisocial spinal-cord-injured patient

Abstract

This conceptual article attempts to help health care professionals deepen their understanding of the psychological characteristics of antisocial spinal cord-injured patients that predispose them to injury, being a disruptive influence on the medical floor, oppositional acting out with physicians, and potentially thwarting effective treatment. Group techniques are described that appear to improve the adaptation of these patients to their traumatic injury and hospital environment.
