Textbooks on Brain Injury and TBI

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.

Despite the publication of a number of books and chapters on neuropsychological and cognitive rehabilitation in the past 15 or 20 years, there have been relatively few books published that have focused specifically on the topic of memory rehabilitation . Neuropsychologist Barbara Wilson's new book on memory rehabilitation addresses this notable gap and provides a concise but up-to-date review of the topic for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, and other professionals dealing with the improvement of memory functioning in individuals with various types of memory disorders.

Now in a substantially revised second edition, this outstanding text gives students a solid grounding in clinical and experimental neuropsychology.

The author is a leading authority whose lucid writing style and thorough yet concise coverage of brain localization, anatomy, and their links to cognitive function make the book ideal for undergraduate or graduate use. Reflecting over two decades of major advances in the field—including developments in basic science, assessment, rehabilitation, and clinical research—the text features a significant new section on neuroimaging and a new chapter on degenerative diseases and profound brain injury. It is illustrated with more than 60 figures, including six color plates.
