Question: Following a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) many individuals lose their right to manage their own finances. Oftentimes there is concern regarding impulsivity and poor decision making, which would impact their ability to make sound financial decisions. However, at the same time there are industries and cities (i.e. Las Vegas) which thrive on "competent" individuals making impulsive and poorly planned decisions which negatively impact their finances. Discuss how these two groups differ. Pretending you are a mental health professional, how would you go about evaluating whether someone who has recently sustained a severe TBI should be allowed to manage their own finances? Would you approach this evaluation differently if you knew that the individual you are evaluating made poor financial decisions prior to their injury? Please back up your response with information from peer-reviewed journal articles.
