Abstract: The frontal lobe syndrome describes a wide range of cognitive, social, and behavioral sequelae following damage of the forebrain. The frontal lobe syndrome is known to cause severe behavior disturbances, which often hamper long-term psychosocial adaptation and reintegration of these patients. In clinical neuropsychology, a diversity of behavior therapy strategies have been proved to be efficient. Approaches concerning specifically behavior analysis and behavior modification;in the frontal lobe syndrome are described.
