Beginning with early clinical observations, including the cases of Phineas Gage and Alexander Lurias wartime studies, the narrative traces the evolution of the field from anecdotal case reports to empirically validated interventions. The discussion delineates core principles that underpin effective rehabilitation practice, including individualization and person-centered planning, goal-directed and functionally relevant interventions, evidence-based methodologies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ecological validity. Established frameworks such as the cognitive neuropsychological model and the information processing model are critically appraised alongside the biopsychosocial perspective and holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation approaches. Particular attention is given to emerging trends, including the integration of advanced technologies such as virtual reality, tele-rehabilitation, and adaptive computerized training as well as their implications for accessibility, scalability, and equity in service delivery. The chapter further considers the relevance of these paradigms to forensic psychology and legal scholarship, highlighting their role in capacity assessment and the determination of criminal responsibility. Drawing upon recent systematic reviews and high-quality empirical studies, this synthesis underscores the necessity of combining scientific rigor with ethically grounded, person-centered care. While artificial intelligence tools supported aspects of drafting, the content has been critically curated and adapted to reflect current scholarship and clinical expertise. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the imperative for rehabilitation professionals to engage in lifelong learning and innovation to meet the evolving needs of individuals with acquired brain injury. 2026 selection and editorial matter, K.
