From student athletes to professional football players to military
personnel, the experiences of diverse groups are driving clinical
and research efforts toward better treatment of traumatic brain
injury. And as more is understood about the complexities of the
condition, especially in its milder forms, the greater the need for
clinical expertise in assessment and intervention. The Handbook on
the Neuropsychology of Traumatic Brain Injury collects and
synthesizes the latest thinking on the condition in its variety of
cognitive and behavioral presentations, matched by a variety of
clinical responses. Acknowledging the continuum of injury and the
multi-stage nature of recovery, expert contributors review salient
research data and offer clinical guidelines for the
neuropsychologist working with TBI patients, detailing key areas of
impairment, brief and comprehensive assessment methods and proven
rehabilitation strategies. Taken together, these chapters provide a
framework for best serving a wide range of TBI patients (including
children, elders, and patients in multidisciplinary settings) and
model treatment that is evidence-based and relevant.A sample of the
topics featured in the Handbook: * Bedside evaluations in TBI.*
Outcome assessment in TBI.* Collaborating with family caregivers in
the rehabilitation of persons with TBI.* Behavioral assessment of
acute neurobehavioral syndromes to inform treatment.* Pediatric
TBI: assessment, outcomes, intervention.* Special issues with mild
TBI in veterans and active duty service members. Expanding
professional knowledge on a topic that continues to grow in
importance, the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Traumatic Brain
Injury is a premier resource, not only for neuropsychologists but
also for other professionals in cognitive care, and trainees
entering the field.
