Summary: Excellent Information
Review: A well written and informative book on brain injury. Many personal examples are provided which helped me understand the phases of recovery and difficulties along the way. Note that the material is dealt with in a realistic fashion, which does not always translate into a positive or uplifting description of the variable recovery outcomes. My sister was severly injured an an auto accident. I appreciated the realistic examples provided, as opposed to other treatments of the subject with poetry and quaint hopeful phrases. My sister may never be the same, but I am optimistic that the information will help me to understand her recovery process.

Summary: traumatic brain injury
Review: This book addresses the topic of traumatic brain injury from several viewpoints: the personal experience of the author, case histories of others and their immediate and long term treatment. The legal, moral, ethical and medical aspects of these cases are discussed and the progress made in the 1990s in knowledge, treatment and dissemination of information to the professional community. Straightforward and readable, it recognizes the needs and considerations of the survivor and the family. The political forces influencing the issue and recognition of traumatic brain injury are considered as well as the financial bearing on rehabilitation and social responsibility. The ethics of quality of life and death is examined and presented to the reader. The book is altogether thought provoking to anyone interested in the field of traumatic brain injury and propects for recovery.
