Brain Injury Books on Rehabilitation in Adults

Based on the latest clinical and neurobiological research on post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this textbook is a guide on clinical treatment. Combining research with practical advice for planning and implementing cognitive-behavioral treatment, it covers theoretical models of PTSD, psychopharmacology and treatment, and approaches for addressing frequently encountered comorbid conditions. Illustrated with helpful cases and examples, there are over a dozen reproducible handouts and forms.

This workbook guides survivors of brain injury and blast injury through the powerful healing experience of telling their own stories with simple journaling techniques. By writing short journal entries, survivors explore the challenges, losses, changes, emotions, adjustments, stresses, and milestones as they rebuild their lives. Journaling after brain injury helps written and verbal communication skills and provides cognitive retraining for following instruction. It helps promote self awareness as well as recognition of strengths and difficulties after brain injury. It is a tool for planning for the future and discussions with family members. Journaling can be done individually, in a group or with assistance from caregivers or family.
