Face Recognition Impairment with TBI

A review of the literature done in the journal Brain Injury (Radice-Meumann, D. et al 2007) shows that the TBI population often suffers from an impairment of their ability to determine the emotion of others from facial expressions. The results of this deficit result in poor interpersonal skills, which can affect social relationships, marriage, and rehabilitation. They suggest treatment approaches similar to those previously designed for autism to be considered with PT.
