Events that lead to traumatic brain injury are often also
psychologically traumatic. Addressing a growing need among mental
health practitioners, this authoritative book brings together
experts in both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild
traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Chapters present empirically based
best practices for conceptualization, assessment, and intervention.
The book also addresses the biological and psychosocial mechanisms
by which PTSD and mTBI complicate each other; management of
commonly associated conditions, including chronic pain and
substance abuse; special considerations in military contexts; and
possible ways to improve the structure and cost-effectiveness of
providing care in this challenging area.
Synthesizing the breadth of current knowledge on the effects of
psychological trauma on the brain, this volume integrates
neurobiological, clinical, and cognitive aspects of PTSD. Presented
is cutting-edge research-including recent advances in functional
neuroimaging-on the emergence of neuropsychological dysfunctions in
specific trauma populations: children, adults, older adults, and
victims of closed head injury. Coverage encompasses a range of
chronic problems with memory, attention, and information processing
that are related to trauma exposure. Linking neuropsychological
findings to the realities of clinical practice, the concluding
section addresses key implications for PTSD assessment and for
pharmacological and psychological treatment.
