Psychological Approaches to Rehabilitation after Traumatic Brain Injury

"I recommend this text for mental health professionals unfamiliar with treating people who have sustained a TBI, as a training tool for students in rehabilitation disciplines, and for experienced rehabilitation practitioners.  Particularly now that soldiers from many countries are returning from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars with brain injuries, this book is necessary reading for professionals across the globe and especially in the United Kingdom." (Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 1 November 2011)

"This book is a "must" for clinicians in the field of rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury. Andy Tyerman and Nigel King have brought together contributions by experts who not only outline theoretical/legal issues relating to service provision, cognitive rehabilitation, behavioural and emotional interventions, vocational rehabilitation and family interventions, but ensure that the chapters’ very practical emphasis and case studies, as well as recommended reading, will make this book enormously helpful to a wide range of practitioners". Dr Laura Goldstein, Senior Lecturer in Neuropsychology & Honorary Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, Institute of Psychiatry, London.

"This is a really excellent and useful book that will prove useful for the entire multidisciplinary team. There are some excellent review chapters and the whole book is written in a very clear and easy style. Many congratulations to the editors and the chapter authors."Professor Michael Barnes, Professor in Neurological Rehabilitation, Newcastle University and Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS, & President of the World Federation for Neurorehabilitation.

"Psychological Approaches to Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury explores the diversity of clinical presentation of patients following TBI, the impact on the patient and their relatives / carers, and the different models and approaches to rehabilitation. It will be a valuable resource to any professional working in brain injury." Doreen Rowland, Neuro Services Manager / Occupational Therapist, Defence Services Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court, Surrey.
