Narrative therapy, neuroplasticity and their connections.

My narrative is that there is nothing I can't do although I think neuroplasticity is a failure point because spasticity gets in the way of recovery. Contrary to the incorrect opinions of  Dr. William F. Landau. 

Of course the infamous Dr. William M. Landau thinks spasticity is not worth treating. 

Do you believe in the do nothingism of Dr. William M. Landau on spasticity?  

His statement from here:

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother? Aug. 2004

Wonder if he will be singing the same tune after he becomes the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke, will he be satisfied with not getting recovered?

The latest here:

 Narrative therapy, neuroplasticity and their connections.

Pensando fam. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp. 272-284. ISSN 1679-494X.

This work investigates how narrative therapy can stimulate neuroplasticity, with basis on the construction of alternative histories, thus promoting psychological and behavioral changes. A literature review was carried out to analyze the contribution, theoretical and practical, arising from the relationship between neuroplasticity and alternative histories. It was noticed that this interface has been little studied as a unified theme. In narrative therapy, the therapist helps the patient to look at details of his/her history so far unnoticed, bringing new stimuli and allowing the patient to recall his/her alternative history, over and over again. This contributes to a resignification of his/her history and the development of new thoughts and feelings, which will result in behavioral changes. The experience of the process of creating and recalling such alternative history, activates brain’s neuroplasticity, establishing new neural connections and contributing to healthy and functional changes in the patient's life.
