It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be invited to contribute a
foreword to this book, which deserves - and needs - to be read by
virtually everyone who is concerned with the treatment and subse
quent welfare of the victims of severe injuries of the brain. Some
friends, relatives and workmates might be helped by reading some
parts of it, but, if the book has the effect it deserves to have on
therapists, nurses, doctors, and others working in both hospitals
and the community, these laymen will be suitably informed and
assisted by one or more members of the necessarily large
therapeutic team. The improvements in methods of resuscitation that
have taken place during the last 40 years or so have abolished the
previously fatalistic readiness to accept that a week or two in
coma after a head injury was virtually a sentence to death from
pneumonia. After it had become possible to save lives it gradually
became clear that survival of the patient was not necessarily
followed by recovery of the brain and that the price of success, in
saving lives, was a popula tion of cerebral cripples that was
increasing at the rate of 1000 or more a year throughout the
country. Although this figure has remained about the same for more
than 20 years, there has been a great improvement in the amount of
interest, the standard of care and the quality of results that are
being achieved."
