New Book: The Multicontext Approach to Cognitive Rehabilitation

A Metacognitive Strategy Intervention to Optimize Functional Cognition

PRESS COVER to SEE INSIDE BOOK

Available as Paperback or Ebook

This comprehensive text offers a deeply practical, clear, and evidence-informed guide to implementing the Multicontext Approach for individuals with cognitive impairments. Readers learn to recognize how specific cognitive symptoms emerge during everyday activities, differentiate types of self-awareness deficits,  strategically analyze cognitive performance, and modify activity characteristics to target distinct performance errors. Grounded in metacognitive strategy training, the book provides step‑by‑step guidance for promoting strategy generation and use, enhancing self-awareness and self-monitoring, applying guided questioning and mediated learning techniques. Clinicians will discover how to structure functional activities to support transfer and generalization—ultimately maximizing functional outcomes for individuals with cognitive impairments across settings. This text is filled with practical information, evidence, guidelines, and resources for implementation of the Multicontext Treatment Approach (MC) (Press the cover on the book image to the left to see the table of contents and sample book pages). Designed for occupational therapy practitioners and other rehabilitation professionals, educators, and researchers, this resource offers a complete framework for delivering evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation that empowers clients to problem-solve, build self-efficacy, and optimize participation in daily life.

Testimonials

“This is a must-have book for any clinician who seeks to provide best-practice interventions to treat clients with cognitive deficits. Not only does it supply the nuts and bolts to assess functional cognitive performance, it also offers detailed guidance that is essential for effective use of the Multi-Context approach. The information and practical clinical applications included in this book have been instrumental in my ability to incorporate this evidence-based approach in the clinic. Treating clients with cognitive challenges is complex and this book does a remarkable job of breaking it down in a way that is easily digestible. I’m thankful to have the breadth of guidance this book offers and know I will return to it again and again.”

Dr. Toglia has created a metacognitive intervention, the Multicontext Approach, grounded in clinical experience and theory, that can achieve what so few cognitive rehabilitation paradigms have done to date: generalize gains across real-world, personalized, and functionally-relevant daily activities. Dr. Toglia and Dr. Foster draw on their wealth of clinical and scientific knowledge of brain injury, awareness, and strategy instruction to provide this comprehensive and practical guide to implementing the MC approach. This will be an invaluable resource to clinicians working with patients with acquired brain injury.
