Περιγραφή

CO-PUBLISHED WITH HEADWAY

Highly Commended in the Popular Medicine category of the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition

This popular and bestselling book has been brought up to date with the latest information on caring for someone with a head injury.


It provides professionals, families and carers with a practical and down-to-earth guide to the hidden psychological, social, behavioural and emotional problems caused by head injury.

Written in a jargon-free style, it addresses the medical problems, rehabilitation and adjustment of individuals and families to the realities of life after head injury.

This revised edition includes a new additional final chapter on long term emotional adjustment, plus extended sections on: other types of brain injury; returning to work; anger management; and improving insight and awareness.
Following on from the previous edition, this new and updated version will be an essential addition to the resources of all professionals working with people with a head injury.

About the first edition, "... this book is one of the best that I've come across in this field. As a guide to those injured, or their families, or carers, or inexperienced clinicians ... it's just about the best there is ... This is a wonderful book."
Neil Brooks, President, European Brain Injury Society
