are called lobes. This fi gure also illustrates the functions associated with particular areas of the

Rehabilitation counselor Monique Tremaine helps individuals 
who have suffered severe brain injury regain as much normal 
functioning as possible. She does this by systematically assess-
ing patients’ problems, providing psychological and behavioral 
treatment, and ensuring that the treatment is state-of-the-art 
and is grounded in evidence gleaned from research. 
According to Tremaine, her work requires an understand-
ing of the structure of the brain and nervous system as well 
as expertise in clinical psychology in order to understand how 
brain injury effects emotion, function, and behavior. 
“Sudden acquired or traumatic brain injury can impact many 
aspects of an individual’s life, including their personality, cogni-
tion, sense of physical well-being, family roles, and occupa-
tional functioning,” she noted. “It is my role to communicate such changes to a 
multidisciplinary staff, to the patient, and to the family to develop a comprehensive 
treatment plan.”
