Reviews"All professionals working in the field of TBI will want to purchase this book as it brings together the latest research in this complex area. Contributors from around the globe provide the latest information on historical, medical, cognitive, emotional, psychosocial and pharmacological issues in TBI. Also included are discussions of some areas rarely addressed such as blast injuries and TBI in elderly people. I particularly liked the consideration of outcome measures, a vitally important topic in TBI." -Professor Barbara A. Wilson, The Oliver Zangwill Centre for Rehabilitation, Ely, United Kingdom "[R]esearch and study to treat TBI is extremely important, and this volume makes a significant contribution to that purpose. Each chapter supplies a voluminous amount of knowledge and insight being imparted by the author(s). In addition, charts, drawings, photos, and tables provide more information, contributing to the understanding of the subject matters being discussed. The lists of Reference materials at the end of the chapters provide further opportunities for you to consult other works and expand and deepen your understanding of any particular topic. This is a comprehensive, authoritative text." --Nano Khilnani, Biz India, "All professionals working in the field of TBI will want to purchase this book as it brings together the latest research in this complex area.
