Drs. Arciniegas, Zasler, Vanderploeg, and Jaffee have edited an outstanding book on traumatic brain injury for clinicians. The authors of the chapters are internationally recognized experts in brain injury medicine, rehabilitation psychology, neuropsychiatry, and neuroscience. They provide an evidence-based and practical guide for health care professionals. The chapter authors also give excellent clinical advice in the management of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and somatic impairments that frequently accompany TBI. This manual is unique in that it is both comprehensive and concise. It is essential reading for health care professionals who manage these persons.—Robert E. Hales, M.D., M.B.A., Joe P. Tupin Endowed Chair, Distinguished Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, UC Davis School of Medicine; Editor-in-Chief, Books, American Psychiatric Publishing

This manual edited by Arciniegas and colleagues represents a contemporary and relatively complete treatment of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and sensory motor disorders associated with a spectrum of traumatic brain injuries. The contributing authors provide practical guidance on medical evaluation and neuropsychological assessment, while also discussing the treatment of those cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and other neurological disorders that follow from traumatic injuries to the brain. This clinical manual should be of benefit both to the seasoned practitioner as well as those just beginning their journey into the assessment and treatment of some of the most complex central nervous system disorders known to man.—John T. Povlishock, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Director, Commonwealth Center for the Study of Brain Injury, Virginia Commonwealth University

Dr. Arciniegas and his colleagues have created a remarkable contribution to the literature on management of adults with traumatic brain injury. Addressing a wide range of topics from post-traumatic behavioral disturbances and cognitive deficits to head injury in athletes and military personnel, this volume is a virtual encyclopedia of useful information on TBI. As guide for the clinician and researcher, this book provides a comprehensive, accessible, and practical resource.—Jeffrey L. Cummings, M.D., Sc.D., Director, Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Camille and Larry Ruvo Chair for Brain Health, Cleveland Clinic

Written by the world's leading investigators and clinicians in traumatic brain injury, we finally have a manual focused on the practical clinical management of patients with TBI. The clinical focus of each chapter including a summary of key clinical points at the end makes this an essential reference for every clinician who is involved in the care of patients with TBI. Arciniegas et al have edited a book which fills an important niche in the TBI literature.—Robert G. Robinson, M.D., Emeritus Paul W. Penningroth Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa

This clinical manual offers a clearly written, comprehensive overview of the varied day-to-day information medical professionals need to care for individuals with brain injury. The book integrates the current literature into accepted and practical approaches to clinical practice. With content spanning from assessment and diagnosis to pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment approaches, the manual is a must have for all brain injury professionals!—Flora Hammond, M.D., Professor and Chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Indiana University School of Medicine and Chief of Medical Affairs, Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana

The text has many very well known, highly regarded authors who have a long history of experience in the brain injury field. This well-referenced, well-organized book covers a broad range of relevant and important topics, and will provide a good foundation of knowledge for less experienced and experienced providers working with persons with brain injury. The book also serves as an important clinical manual which will meet the needs of clinicians working with diverse brain injury populations, and contains many helpful tables and figures which richly illustrate the topics covered. The book provides a rich focus on emotional and behavioral disturbances, and covers important special topics as such concussion injury, forensic issues, and TBI in late life, which have received insufficient attention in the literature.—Jeffrey S. Kreutzer, Ph.D., ABPP, FACRM, Rosa Schwarz Cifu Prof Physical Med Rehab, Prof Neurosurgery Psych, Virginia Commonwealth Univ Med Ctr; Director, Virginia Commonwealth TBI Model System of Care
