Help Me Cry Again: A Post-stroke Case Study

Some of our past research participants who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) reported an inability to cry after their injury. These participants had impaired emotion perception, and interestingly, reported crying for the first time after receiving a facial affect recognition intervention that was being studied. The facial affect recognition intervention elicits personal emotions, which may facilitate crying. This is a case study of a woman who could not cry after her stroke and was referred for facial affect recognition therapy.
