This informative text details the many changes in everyday life as
the result of injury, illness, or aging affecting the brain.
Experts across brain-related fields trace mechanisms of conditions
such as Parkinson's disease, TBI, and dementia as they impact
regions of the brain, and resulting cognitive, emotional, sensory,
and motor impairments as they contribute to deficits in personal
and social functioning. In addition to symptoms and behaviors
associated with insults to the brain (and the extent to which the
brain can adapt or self-repair), chapters provide cogent examples
of how societal and cultural expectations can shape the context and
experience of disability. The book's focus on everyday activities
brings new clarity to diverse links between symptoms and diagnosis,
brain and behavior. Included in the coverage: *The aging brain and
changes in daily function. *Stroke: impact on life and daily
function. *Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the impact on daily
life. *Everyday life with cancer. *Real-world impact of
HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment. *Disability and public
policy in America. *Living after brain changes, from the patient's
perspective. Rich in empirical data and human insight, Changes in
the Brain gives neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists,
clinical social workers, and rehabilitation nurses a robust new
understanding of the daily lives of patients, both in theory and in
the real world.
