It is difficult to imagine what it must be like for someone
following the personal crisis and catastrophe that ensues as a
result of a serious traumatic brain injury (TBI). The individual is
confronted with a huge range of alterations in his or her normal
functioning, operating at the biological, psychological and social
levels. All of these changes are also occurring to an individual
who has just had a near-death experience, culminating not too
surprisingly in the reflections "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" As
a result, these individuals can develop a wide range of
behavioural, emotional, and psychiatric conditions following the
injury, including depression, bipolar disorder, secondary mania,
psychotic states, posttraumatic stress disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobic disorders, and generalized
anxiety disorders, to name a few. In addition, these individuals
can also be subject to a number of neuropsychiatric syndromes,
including disorders of drive, disorders of impulse control, and
disturbance of neurovegetative functioning. This book presents the
current state of our knowledge of the behavioural and emotional
effects that can occur as sequelae of TBI, and addresses issues
associated with their differential diagnosis and the
neurobiological mechanisms by which these might occur. The book
will prove an excellent resource not only for clinicians who
practice as psychiatrists, behavioural neurologists, clinical
neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists, but also for
psychologists in advanced training and for anyone who is involved
in caring for or working with individuals with TBI.
