Synopsis

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a high-profile diagnosis. From soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with blast injuries, to athletes sustaining head injury while engaged in sport, to the expanding number of older people who experience such an injury from serious falls, TBI is more visible than ever. This thoroughly revised and updated new edition of the Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury provides the state-of-the-art, comprehensive research and clinical information neuropsychiatrists, neurologists, physiatrists, and other medical professionals need to assess and treat patients with this complicated disorder. This comprehensive textbook addresses epidemiology and pathophysiology; neuropsychiatric disorders; neuropsychiatric symptomatologies; special populations and issues; and treatment. Many of the foremost scholars and clinicians who contributed to the previous edition are back with thorough revisions, but the volume also boasts five new chapters on such timely and critical topics as posttraumatic stress disorder, TBI in the context of war, and epidemiology in military and civilian populations. Far superior to other works in its exhaustive coverage of every aspect of TBI, The Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury is sure to improve not only clinicians knowledge, but the evaluation and care of TBI patients and their families as well.
