This concise reference clarifies the gray areas between traumatic
brain injury and PTSD while providing an empirically sound
framework for neuropsychological evaluation and differential
diagnosis. Its extended research review summarizes findings on key
topics including the neuroanatomy of brain injury, test battery
design and selection, and the salience of accurate diagnosis to
ensuring appropriate specialized treatment. The authors offer the
possibility of combined diagnosis as well as injuries that may fall
through the diagnostic cracks, and consider possible relationships
between TBI, PTSD, and the dementias, including Alzheimer's
disease. This knowledge base and the practical guidelines it
informs are presented so that readers can better: * Understand the
clinical distinctions between TBI and PTSD, and among forms of TBI.
* Recognize cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and social components
of the disorders. * Identify skill areas for neuropsychological
evaluation of patients. * Select appropriate instruments for
individualized assessment.* Address test administration and
interpretation concerns. * Make an accurate differential diagnosis
between PTSD and TBI. With its sharp focus on the nuances of trauma
and recovery, The Intercorrelation of Traumatic Brain Injury and
PTSD in Neuropsychological Evaluations will find a wide, interested
audience among psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, mental health counselors,
undergraduate and graduate level students, and researchers. In
addition, this text may be useful for those interested in
psychology and neurology. <
