This helps in making sense of the loss of the sense of self they experience. Gender, premorbid personality, and socio-cultural discourses guide this process of understanding. Narrative formulation takes these considerations into account and, thus, can be used for formulating therapeutic plans.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> To present a case report which highlights the use of narrative case formulation to understand the psychological, social, and cultural factors forming the dominant discourse of a woman with ABI.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold> Ms. VA, a 43-year-old female, presented herself with a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy with small chronic infarcts with gliosis in the bilateral cerebellar hemisphere, myoclonic seizures, mild cognitive impairment, depression, generalized dystonia, and bronchial asthma. Along with neuropsychological rehabilitation and cognitive retraining, 25 sessions of psychotherapy using narrative formulation were performed.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> Following the therapy, microgains such as a developing strong therapeutic relationship, accommodating vulnerability in her narrative, and finding moments of independence and assertion within the constraints of ABI were observed. Acceptance of her current predicament vis-à-vis her lost self and finding meaning in her new self were facilitated.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> There is paucity of research detailing psychotherapeutic management of ABI, especially in India. Psychotherapy, particularly using narrative formulation, can be helpful in understanding the intersections of gender role and expectations, premorbid personality and ABI, and aiding the post-ABI rehabilitation and adjustment. Future work in this area can explore the socio-cultural aspects that play an important role in the therapy process.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ: </bold>Психотерапия является компонентом нейрореабилитации пациентов с приобретенным повреждением головного мозга (ППГМ). Предполагается значимая роль нарративной психотерапии, которая помогает пациентам осознать серьезные проблемы, обусловленные чувством идентичности больного и безвозвратных потерь, и их связь с хроническими нарушениями функционирования. Этот метод помощи пациентам с ППГМ недостаточно исследован в Индии и других странах. Используемый авторами холистический медицинский подход требует изучения биологических, личностных и психосоциальных факторов, способствующих развитию малоадаптивного дискурса у пациента и неблагоприятному течению заболевания, а также снижающих эффективность терапии.</p> <p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ: </bold>Представить клинический случай применения нарративной психотерапии при реабилитации пациентки с ППГМ с психическими и функциональными нарушениями для изучения ее эффективности с учетом влияния не только клинических, но и личностных, психосоциальных и культурных факторов.</p> <p><bold>МЕТОДЫ: </bold>Проведена диагностика неврологических, психических, когнитивных и личностных нарушений в случае 43-летней женщины с диагнозом гипоксической ишемической энцефалопатии, проявляющейся легким когнитивным расстройством, генерализованной дистонией и миоклоническими судорогами, сопровождающейся депрессией и бронхиальной астмой. В рамках нарративного подхода был определен доминирующий дискурс и его связь с низким уровнем адаптации и восстановления пациентки. Проведены пять сессий нарративной психотерапии наряду со стандартной реабилитацией с нейрокогнитивными тренингами.</p> <p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: </bold>С помощью нарративного подхода были созданы условия для принятия пациенткой текущих затруднений в связи с потерянной идентичностью и обнаружения смысла в развитии альтернативной идентичности. Показан ряд эффектов этой техники, позволивших выявить уязвимость доминирующего дискурса и изменить нарративное формулирование «Я» пациентки, что привело к повышению активности, самоконтроля пациентки и других психических функций, укреплению терапевтических отношений и результатов лечения в целом. Выявлены ограничения для нарративной терапии в связи с клиническими особенностями случая.</p> <p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ: </bold>Представлен новый взгляд на нарративный подход как компонент реабилитации пациентов с ППГМ. Он способствует формированию реальных целей для пациента и психотерапии. Описание нарративного подхода позволяет терапевтам соотносить данный опыт с собственной практикой и внедрять его. Требуются дальнейшие работы для уточнения механизмов влияния психосоциальных и культурных факторов, в том числе современных тенденций в изменении гендерных ролей, на эффективность лечения в сходных случаях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>case report</kwd><kwd>narrative therapy for ABI</kwd><kwd>neuropsychological rehabilitation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>клинический случай</kwd><kwd>нарративная терапия при ППГМ</kwd><kwd>нейропсихологическая реабилитация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Rubiano AM, Carney N, Chesnut R, Puyana JC.
