Brain disorders (neurodevelopmental neurodegenerative and affective disorders) can be
investigated treated and prevented using person-centered methods. Because researchers have
not reached a clear consensus on whether or not personality is stable or changeable it has
been difficult to outline how to use these methods in the care of people with brain disorders.
Thus the first part aims to identify the ways in which brain disorders and personality are
linked. The second part explores different person-centered approaches that can be incorporated
in a healthcare or education setting to help people with various brain disorders and to promote
physical mental and social health. The third part focuses on challenges and new venues.
