This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the very important clinical issue of recovery of function after head injury. It emphasizes recent advances in research on the outcome of head injury and provides a critical commentary on methodological problems. The use of clinical neuropsychological procedures, laboratory-based cognitive tasks, psychiatric interviewing and radiological techniques to assess the outcome of head injury is fully discussed. The list of contributors to this book is distinguished, multidisciplinary and international. The volume will be of particular value to neurologists, neurosurgeons and clinical psychologists. With improvements in trauma care, the number of young people surviving head injury with varying degrees of brain damage has increased, so the question of their neurobehavioural recovery is timely.

Industry Reviews

"This volume will repay the reader with a greatly enhanced understanding of the challenge facing head-injured patients when they try to return to society." --The Lancet "A fine book. It presents the state of the art in the investigation of cognitive and neuropsychological disturbances from a variety of perspectives and should prove to be a useful resource to those conducting clinical research with this population." --Neurotrauma Medical Report "This book integrates current knowledge on the pathophysiology of head injury with current methods of neuropsychological assessment. It provides an excellent review of the various methods of neuropsychological testing that are currently employed and the strengths and weaknesses of these methods in assessing different aspects of recovery from head injury. The text is readable, there are adequate graphics and illustrations, and the price is reasonable. For those interested in embarking on the study of neurobehavioral outcome from head injury, this book comprises a state-of-the-art review." --Journal of Neurosurgery "This book is a 'must read.' . . . . Simply the best book on traumatic brain injury, recovery, treatment, and intervention that has been published to date. It has an outstanding array of authors . . . . Should be read from cover to cover. Fortunately, it is not only competent but enjoyable and, although at times demanding, pays proper respect to the complexity and importance of this timely topic of head injury." --Contemporary Psychology "The book has a consistently high quality. There are very few books that deal with the behavioral and psychological as well as cogntive consequences of brain injury. This may be one tree in a small forest, but all trees should stand this tall." --American Journal of Psychiatry
