(JTA) — Yehuda Ben-Yishay, a psychologist whose experience treating Israeli soldiers after the Yom Kippur War led to pioneering therapy for traumatic brain injuries, has died. Ben-Yishay, the founder and retired director of New York University’s Rusk Holistic Day Program, died March 24 at the NYU Langone Health hospital in Manhattan. He was 88. His “holistic cognitive therapy,” developed with colleague Leonard Diller, demonstrated that contrary to the scientific consensus of the time, the adult brain is malleable and memory, attention and reasoning could be relearned or strengthened after a brain injury. Their program, first tested on Israeli combat veterans, applied “tightly scripted exercises in behavior modification and social skills.”
