Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of
readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its
lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl
labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his
parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own
experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his
practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can
choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward
with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from
the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in
life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and
pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

Traumatic brain injury is the fourth most common cause of death in the developed world: in the United States alone, 75,000 to 100,000 people die of brain trauma each year, and another 70,000 to 90,000 are left permanently impaired. This book-the first comprehensive, accessible book on traumatic brain injury-explains what it is, how it is caused, and what can be done to treat, cope with, and prevent it. William Winslade presents facts about traumatic brain injury; information about its financial and emotional costs to individuals, families, and society; and key ethical and policy issues. He illustrates each aspect with dramatic case studies, including his own childhood brain injury. He explains how the brain works and how severe injuries affect it, both immediately and over the long term, pointing out how resources are often squandered on patients with poor prognoses and adequate insurance, while underinsured patients with better prognoses do not receive appropriate care. He tells about the lack of regulation in the rehabilitation industry and what federal and state legislatures are doing to correct the situation. And he offers recommendations for policy changes to lower the instances of traumatic brain injury (such as raising the minimum driving age) as well as practical steps that individuals can take to protect themselves from brain trauma.
