Areas of Research Focus

Similar but separate research projects have dealt with the identification of denial manifested by different populations. These projects lead to the operationalization of denial indicators, and development and interrater reliability testing of assessment tools for recognizing (a) alcoholic denial and for (b) differentiating between psychodynamic (cognitive and perceptual skills intact) and neurogenic denial (cognitive and/or perceptual system damage, or anosognosia) in stroke patients.

Results of the studies using these instruments demonstrated that denial can be objectively, specifically and reliably identified by interdisciplinary health care providers (nursing, physical therapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, or speech pathologist).

Appropriate rehabilitation treatment modalities differ depending on the denial type manifested by the patient. Instruments that measure denial status enable the effective planning and proper timing of individualized management strategies.
