Impulsive verbal aggression and anger are the principal aggressive traits after brain injury. Physical aggression may present in extreme cases after TBI, but appears less prominent overall in this population. Social desirability, previously overlooked in research examining TBI aggression, emerged as an influential variable that should be considered in future TBI research.
The social network and social support needs of people following traumatic brain injury (TBI) are considerable and related to both health outcomes and community integration. We review what is known of the structure of social networks following TBI and explore the relationship of these networks to social support and health. Social network interventions in TBI are described and discussed. Empirically based suggestions are given for the development of interventions based on culturally sensitive programmes which develop social networks and support in a naturalistic manner.
