Intervention with families following brain injury: Evidence-based practice.

The literature on brain injury and the family is examined to provide an evidence base for family intervention. In the absence of methodologically sound studies which evaluate the efficacy of family intervention, current practice should be based on the findings of studies that have investigated how families adapt and the difficulties they face in this process. The implications of this literature should be considered at all stages in the rehabilitation process and in all forms of contact with the family.
