Summary/Abstract: As a result of using a multi-modality neurological/mental assessment and a multifaceted rehabilitation program (including group therapy), 108 patients with sequelae of mine blast closed traumatic brain injury (MB CTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have demonstrated positive trends concerning their neurological and psychological status. From the standpoint of the pathogenetic concept of neurotic disorders, there are four principal categories of neurotic disorders, namely asthenic, anxiety-depressive, hysteria-like and phobic. A conclusion was made that using the methods of group psychotherapy as a constituent of rehabilitation program was effective.
