Counseling Patients with Neurologic Disabilities.

People living with neurologic conditions have historically been among the most marginalized groups in society. Advances in science and medicine have helped prevent, manage, or even cure many of these disorders. The byproduct of these successes is an aging population and members of the population at large with neurologic diseases and their sequelae. These sequelae may be imperceptible to others but often include a loss of skills or independence, which negatively impact a person's psychosocial and socioeconomic status, particularly when either activities of daily living are compromised or the affected individuals possess limited social and financial supports systems.
