Treatment strategies for patients with dysexecutive syndromes
Abstract
Patients with prefrontal behavioral syndromes (dysexecutive, disinhibited, and apathetic) present a significant therapeutic challenge that demands the integration of psychopharmacologic, behavioral, and systemic interventions. Unfortunately, the behavioral disturbances of such patients are frequently misinterpreted and therefore inadequately treated. This article describes the various strategies that are available to the clinician in treating patients with prefrontal deficits.
