Summary

This chapter begins with a general consideration of the points where religion and spirituality connect with the enterprise of neuro-rehabilitation. This takes the form of a narrative that charts the chronological development of my ideas in the context of a field that is itself continually developing. It is followed by a case study of the rehabilitation of an individual with profound amnesia, whose faith was of overriding importance in his life. The case study both illustrates and elaborates several of the general themes raised in the earlier part of the chapter.
