The authors describe the experience of a clinical psychologists attempt to provide a comprehensive outpatient service to a group of head-injury survivors discharged from a rehabilitation unit. Of 54 patients, 50 were seen at least once by the psychologist while 22 were seen on four or more occasions.
A substantial part of the workload was accounted for by contacts with relatives or other principal carers, with more than half of the carers being seen. Another major activity was liaising with other professionals or agencies. In eleven patients, six or more contacts of this nature proved necessary.
The authors concluded that there was a indication for the provision and careful evaluation of an expanded psychological service for people in their first two years after head injury.
