Only minimal attention has been focused on the impact that long‐term verbal memory deficits have on an adolescent and his family despite the fact that these deficits may disrupt the adolescents vocational, social, and emotional functioning as well as place significant emotional demands on other family members. This paper presents a case study of an adolescent and his family in an attempt to provide a detailed description of the multitude of problems created by the adolescents verbal memory deficits and to foster greater collaboration between neuropsychologists and family therapists in their efforts to help families resolve their problems .
