Abstract
Client centred care is now the driving ethos of most institutional rehabilitation centers and yet barriers to its implementation persist in the clinical practice of rehabilitation. We conducted interviews and observations with staff of two inpatient neurorehabilitation units in Ontario to evaluate the impact of “After the Crash”, a research-based theatre production about client-centered brain injury rehabilitation. Our analysis revealed important emotion work practices that were had both positive and negative relational outcomes in practice.
