Treating social cognition impairment with the online therapy 'SoCoBo': A randomized controlled trial including traumatic brain injury patients.

Objective

Acquired brain injuries (ABIs), such as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), often entail impairments of general cognition (e.g., memory, attention or executive functions) and social cognition (e.g. emotion recognition, theory of mind [ToM], social problem-solving).
