This book collects and synthesizes the latest thinking on the condition in its variety of cognitive and behavioral presentations, matched by a variety of clinical responses. Acknowledging the continuum of injury and the multi-stage nature of recovery, expert contributors review salient research data and offer clinical guidelines for the neuropsychologist working with TBI patients, detailing key areas of impairment, brief and comprehensive assessment methods and proven rehabilitation strategies. Taken together, these chapters provide a framework for best serving a wide range of TBI patients (including children, elders, and patients in multidisciplinary settings) and model treatment that is evidence-based and relevant. A sample of the topics featured in the Handbook :

Bedside evaluations in TBI.
Outcome assessment in TBI.
Collaborating with family caregivers in the rehabilitation of persons with TBI.
Behavioral assessment of acute neurobehavioral syndromes to inform treatment.
Pediatric TBI: assessment, outcomes, intervention.
Special issues with mild TBI in veterans and active duty service members.
Expanding professional knowledge on a topic that continues to grow in importance, the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Traumatic Brain Injury is a premier resource, not only for neuropsychologists but also for other professionals in cognitive care, and trainees entering the field.

"The aim is to provide a handbook with practical, clinically useful information for the assessment and treatment of patients with TBI. The book is intended for clinical neuropsychologists, although anyone involved in neurorehabilitation may find it of interest." (Christopher J. Graver, Doody´s Book Reviews, April, 2016)

"The aim of this book is to provide information about the latest cognitive and behavioral aspects of TBI and to guide clinicians in their response to and treatment of patients presenting with this problem. ... Although the book is clearly for neuropsychologists, it also provides adequate reading material for a variety of disciplines involved in the assessment and treatment of patients with TBI, as well as students of those disciplines." (Christopher J. Graver, Doody´s Book Reviews, October, 2014)
