We interviewed Andi\u2019s family and friends, with textual and nontextual data being reviewed during team meetings that occurred 3 times per month over 3 yr. Data were analyzed by hand-coding transcripts to organize findings until we identified themes and salient text for constructing a narrative.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Setting:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Community.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Participants:<\/jats:bold>\n                    TBI survivor.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Identity disruption after TBI occurs because of physiological difficulties, psychological changes, and cognitive deficits. Additionally, survivors face interruptions in occupational participation that affect their identity as doers. Andi experienced identity disruption that was exacerbated by being unable to engage in written expression. When he was able to resume writing and regain his occupational identity, Andi was able to reconstruct his sense of self.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions and Relevance:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Identity is created by occupational engagement.
