A comprehensive textbook provides a wealth of scientific, yet easy-to-understand information, from both research and clinical practice, on the complex neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI. New chapters address structural and functional imaging, electrophysiologic techniques, neuropsychological assessment, social issues, systems of care, and treatment modalities, including alternative therapies. Expanded chapters discuss the multiple neuropsychiatric sequelae not endcompassed by the usual psychiatric syndromes, including, apathy, reduced awareness of deficits, fatigue, pain, headaches, balance problems, visual difficulties, and sports injuries.
