Abstract

<p>  Impaired social cognition after brain injury is regarded as a contributor to poor social participation and vocational outcomes of brain-injured individuals. The present research aimed to investigate whether social perception deficits experienced in chronic brain-injured participants can be successfully remediated through group treatment using “Social Cognition and Interaction Training: SCIT.” Also, we attempted social skills training including role-play and video feedback on the same participants. The subjects consisted of three patients with traumatic brain injury and one with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The measures of facial expression and KiSS18 were used as the main outcome measurements. These measures were conducted before and after the group treatments. Results indicated that participants improved in judging facial expressions and evaluating their interpersonal skills. These results give us an insight into optimal rehabilitation dealing with social cognition deficits in chronic brain-injured individuals.</p>
