| dc.description.abstract | This capstone paper examines the complexity and impact of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) on self-concept, emphasizing both the negative and positive outcomes that individuals experience. ABI, resulting from traumatic or non-traumatic events, leads to various physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that can greatly disrupt one’s sense of self. The literature reveals significant negative changes in self-concept, including diminished self-concept, emotional distress, and a loss of autonomy, as well as demonstrating positive changes, such as resilience and personal growth. The research further highlights the critical role of evidence-based therapeutic interventions in facilitating self-concept reconstruction. These interventions operate on multiple levels, including neurobiological aspects by enhancing emotional regulation; intrapsychically that promote cognitive flexibility; and interpersonally by fostering social connectedness and support. The paper also critiques existing methodologies, highlighting the need for further research to evaluate the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches in improving selfconcept among ABI survivors. | |
