TL;DR: The limited range of studies for all conditions except MS suggests a need to synthesise systematically the available evidence across conditions and develop well-designed studies to provide evidence about the effectiveness of CR and other psychological interventions.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Despite its potentially significant impact, cognitive disability may be overlooked in a number of progressive neurodegenerative conditions, as other difficulties dominate the clinical picture. OBJECTIVE: We examined the extent, nature and range of the research evidence relating to cognitive rehabilitation, self-management, psychotherapeutic and caregiver support interventions in Parkinsonian disorders, multiple sclerosis (MS), frontotemporal dementias (FTD), motor neuron disease and Huntington’s disease. METHODS: Scoping review based on searches of MEDLINE and CINAHL up to 15 March 2016. RESULTS: We included 140 eligible papers. Over half of the studies, and almost all the randomised controlled trials, related to MS, while a number of single case studies described interventions for people with FTD. CR interventions addressed functional ability, communication and interaction, behaviour or memory. The majority of psychotherapy interventions involved cognitive behavioural therapy for depression or anxiety. Self-management interventions were mainly available for people with MS. There were few reports of interventions specific to caregivers. Numerous methodological challenges were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The limited range of studies for all conditions except MS suggests a need firstly to synthesise systematically the available evidence across conditions and secondly to develop well-designed studies to provide evidence about the effectiveness of CR and other psychological interventions.

TL;DR: Rom Harre's focus on morality, attributing humans with powers to act and accounting for their inner mental states, forms a fundamental basis for the epistemological redefinition of social psychology as a human and cultural discipline as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Rom Harre’s focus on morality, attributing humans with powers to act and accounting for their inner mental states, forms a fundamental basis for the epistemological redefinition of social psychology as a human and cultural discipline. Harre suggests possible links between his positioning theory and another two socio-cultural psychologies, namely, Vygotsky’s socio-cultural approach, and Moscovici’s theory of social representations. All three approaches presuppose, as an epistemological point of departure, the self and other(s) in their unique relations. Their dynamic uniqueness is realised in and through language and communication, and through multifaceted forms of interaction in the construction of meanings in concrete local situations. These concerns have a strong influence in professional practices such as education, health-related issues and disability, as well as in politics.
