Summary:	Peter Lichtenberg works with a former nurse who has suffered a traumatic brain injury and is now unable to work. Her limited mobility prevents her from her job as a caregiver, and she finds herself now needing care from others. Lichtenberg reviews the client's symptoms, which include memory loss, chronic pain, frustration, and depression, and works to build hope through recognizing her progress since the injury and identifying her strengths. He helps the client to explore her support system and uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to build routine and structure to increase the client's sense of purpose and efficacy.
