Abstract
Historical and present-day ideas concerning recovery of higher brain functions and so-called cognitive retraining are the focus of this article. Clinical guidelines for helping patients understand and compensate for residual higher cerebral deficits are suggested. A holistic or milieu oriented program is considered the most helpful form of intervention at this time. The use of pharmacological treatment, coupled with educational activities, is also discussed.
