The Clinical Neuropsychology Unit is the only specialized unit in the country that offers low cost neuropsychological assessment, and long-term rehabilitation, to people with acquired brain damage. Dr. Salas’ main clinical and research interests are related to understanding emotional and personality changes after brain injury, the relationship between cognitive/emotional changes and social isolation, and the adaptation of psychoanalytic tools to facilitate socio-emotional adjustment and well-being in this population. He has published over 30 articles and chapters related to these topics. He is co-author of the book Addressing Brain Injury in Under Resourced Settings (Routledge, 2017) and editor of Clinical Studies in Neuropsychoanalysis Revisited (Taylor & Francis, in press).
