abstract="OBJECTIVE:: To explore ethical issues in using deception to improve participation in a patient with severe traumatic brain injury who had not responded to traditional behavioral and pharmacologic approaches. DESIGN:: Case study. PARTICIPANT:: A male in inpatient neurorehabilitation with history of severe traumatic brain injury and significant behavioral disruption that limited his therapy participation. METHODS:: Behavior modification program using principles of operant conditioning that required deception. RESULTS:: Participation in therapies significantly improved and disruptive behaviors decreased. CONCLUSION:: When used cautiously and with careful consideration of the ethical implications, deception may be permissible as part of an intervention strategy with this population but only as a last resort.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
