Synopsis

The clinical problem of treating head injury patients is not one to be solved by a dramatic medical breakthrough, but one which must be tackled by a better appreciation of their condition from both the neurological and the psychological points of view. It is therefore not surprising that there is a growing interest in research on the effects of closed head injury. The purpose of this book is to review the clinical and neuropsychological aspects of cloed head injury in a manner which is intelligible to both clinicians and psychologists.

About this title

Review:

'The strengths of this book lie in its succinct and up-to-date coverage of the available research in this area. It is well written, easily accessible, and provides useful summaries to aid digestion of material. ... This book will appeal to those working in either a neuropsychological research or clinical setting, and will be an invaluable addition to library resources.' - Pediatric Rehabilitation

'A useful reference to all members of the multidisciplinary team. It will be particularly useful to clinicians new to the area of head injury or to junior staff, providing a good introduction to the "bigger picture" as background to more focused reading on more specific topics. It would be appropriate to add this book to any unit as it will be of use to anyone working with patients with severe head injury at any stage from admission onwards.' - British Journal of Neurosurgery
