Focusing on a public health problem affecting millions of people of
all ages, the second edition of Concussive Brain Trauma:
Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation reflects Dr. Rolland
S. Parker's more than 25 years of neuropsychological practice and
research in traumatic brain injury and stress, and his prior
experience as a clinical psychologist. Unique in its coverage of
the personality changes, family dysfunction, and stress that often
occur in the wake of concussive brain trauma, this book uses case
examples to illustrate persistent and acute alterations of
consciousness, as well as cognitive, mood, personality, and social
effects of head injury in order to guide appropriate treatment.
With six additional chapters, this edition covers: Post-concussive
syndrome, biomechanical causes of trauma, and acute and chronic
phases of co-morbid brain and somatic injury The physiological
basis for behavior and posttraumatic dysregulation of systems
Disorders related to pain, sensation, and motor activities
Headaches, consciousness, cognition, cerebral personality, and
psychodynamic disorders Developmental effects of children's
concussive injury Blast injuries characteristic of modern war
Unfamiliar signs not included in the usual list of post-concussive
symptoms With a firm multi-disciplinary foundation, this book aids
the concerned practitioner in rendering a more complete and
accurate assessment, recognizing gaps in prior documentation, and
conducting a more complete examination to acquire omitted
information. It also shows how to achieve the benefit of higher
accuracy in assessing disability, planning rehabilitation, and
offering compensation. The book stands alone as an in-depth,
authoritative guide to closed head injury and traumatic brain
injury.
