    AbstractWith modern management of spinal cord injury, the mortality rate has reduced and life expectancy increased, and psychological and social counselling have become an integral part of the total rehabilitation process. Observation and exploration as well as some additional tests form the basis for a proper evaluation of the individual coping mechanism. Typical behaviour patterns are discussed and therapeutic approaches with specific indications, analysed. The most important issue, however, is the willingness of the family and the community to accept the disabled cocitizen as an equal partner in all activities concerned.
