Recovering social participation - experience with a relational group intervention for traumatic brain injury patients.

CONCLUSION: As determined by clinical observations and patient reports, the group intervention for social participation has proven to be beneficial. The participants report gaining more understanding of and insight into social situations, nonverbal and verbal communication, as well as affective interactive experience. Practicing social skills in a group situation is inherently self-motivating and encourages a constructive, positive impetus toward greater social participation. Based on our experience with this approach, it appears that this experiential form of group intervention is an effective bridge between structured cognitive-communication rehabilitation and successful real-life social participation.
