Neuropsychological Rehabilitation after Brain Injury

"Although short in length (183 pages), this book is long on useful clinical information, case vignettes, and research findings which clearly represents the cumulative experience of a number of dedicated, sensitive, and insightful clinical psychologists. This volume represents a welcomed change fromthe usual exhaustive listing of neuropsychological studies and their hypothesized relationship to rehabilitiation and functional outcome of brain injured patients. Prigatano and his associates demonstrate thei clinical and research acumen through well integrated discussions of neuropsychological test data, personality characteristics, premorbid coping styles, and situational or environmental factors which are likely to influence psychosocial and functional outcome following brain injury. The text is clearly written and easily understood for even the casual reader of neuropsychological studies or clinical neuropsychology. However, its readability and comprehensibility does not detract from its usefulness for professionals or students at advanced levels of training in neuropsychology, psychiatry, neurology, physiatry, neurosurgery, occupational and physical therapy, or other disciplines involved in rehabilitation of brain injured patients... In summary, I highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever treated a brain-impaired patient or who anticipates doing so in the future."--Perry C.
