MindLink has introduced a specialised Intensive Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (INR) Program to WA and Australia. This innovative program is developed for people dealing with the invisible consequences of an acquired brain injury (ABI). It is an outpatient post-acute cognitive rehabilitation program (group or individual) for the long-term consequences of brain-injury.

The program will help the participants to:

1. Learn how to use their strengths and possibilities effectively
2. Get better awareness, insight and understanding of their cognitive, emotional and behavioural limitations and strengths
3. Learn with and from peers; and
4. Re-establish their lives as much as possible, at work and at home

The psychologists of MindLink will work together with participants and their support systems to optimise the client’s quality of life and to ensure the best possible outcome from treatment program. The support from carers, family and close friends is important for the best possible outcome of the INR program. It is advisable for them to know and better understand what the participant is working on, how they can better deal with the changes, and how they can support with achieving the goals. During the program there will be meetings for the carers, supporting family members and close friends. During these meetings carers and supporting family members can exchange their experiences and parts of the program that can be practiced at home will be discussed

Eligible for the INR program are:

• Adults with established diagnosis of ABI in post-acute stage (at least 9 months post injury)
• Disabilities in cognitive, behavioural, emotional and interpersonal functioning predominant
• Pt and social support system should be sufficiently motivated to participate
• A certain degree of awareness of limitations exist or is expected to develop

Important exclusion criteria:

• Congenital brain dysfunction
• Progressive neurological disorders

• Whiplash
• Primary psychiatric disorders
• Absence of objective measure of ABI

The Gottman Method is an approach to couples’ therapy that includes a thorough assessment of the couple relationship and integrates research-based interventions based on the Sound Relationship House Theory.

Couples who enter into therapy begin with an assessment process that then informs the therapeutic framework and interventions.

Assessment

After the initial intake session, the assessment phase comprises of a joint session and 2 individual sessions, followed by another joint session to receive detailed feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship. Individually, you will each also complete a set of questionnaires developed by the Gottman Institute to assist in assessing the relationship during the assessment phase. At the end of the feedback session you and Mariette will decide on the frequency and duration of the sessions as well as the specific goals for the therapeutic intervention phase. 

Therapeutic Interventions
Interventions are designed to help you strengthen your relationship in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. You learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. Interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances your shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed.

Goals and Principles of the Gottman Method

The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
