Synopsis

"This is a small, rapidly digested monograph reviewing the psychological consequences, assessment and therapy of children following traumatic brain injury. This book will serve as a useful introduction to the topic for neuropsychologists, as well as teachers, occupational therapists and speech therapists. Conversely, generalist clinicians may find useful insights into the psychologist′s approach to children suffering head injury, that may suggest intervention strategies for less severly affected children for whom specialist help is not available." --R. Forsyth in Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology Traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents represents a set of dysfunctions that broadly impact the individual, family, and society in general. In this brief yet comprehensive volume, the authors address the key issues and procedures pertaining to the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents who have sustained such injuries. They explore different types of brain injuries, including related neuropathological mechanisms, and review case study material on outcomes across a variety of developmental parameters.
