Department of Neuropsychology


   
   
   
   
   
Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs are coordinated from the Neuro-psychological Department and applied to all patients from the database obtained during the assessment process. The specific area of this department is made up of 3 closely related divisions:

  • cognitive disorders
  • behavioral disorders
  • emotional disorders

Cognitive disorders are problems of memory, attention, reasoning, and executive functioning, etc. These deficiencies prevent the patient from being independent in most cases and limit his/her capacity to benefit from other areas of treatment such as physiotherapy or speech therapy, a basic part of treatment.

Behavioral disorders have a more distorted influence on the patient's family and caretakers; irritability, aggressivity, uninhibitedness, childish behavior, hypersexuality, etc. often make it impossible to live together and therefore should be taken care of at the beginning.

Emotional disorders usually appear in the advanced phases of the patient's evolution, often when he/she has had cognitive improvement and begins to notice his/her deficiencies and the consequences of them in their lives.

All of these impairments must therefore be acted upon in a holistic way by specialized personnel.
