Concussive Brain Trauma: Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation
By Rolland S. Parker
Price: 149.95
Hardcover; 2000
Synopsis
Focusing on a major public health problem known as minor head injury, concussion, or whiplash, Parker (clinical neurology, New York U.) argues that frequently such injuries are not negligible, and rather than resolve themselves quickly, in fact can continue to affect patients in ways even they themselves do not recognize for the rest of their lives. Among other long-term problems, he says is that if the injury is slow to heal a persistent stress syndrome can arise that creates its own neurobehavioral disorders. His topics include the post-concussive syndrome, controversial issues of consciousness, primary brain damage, pain and post-traumatic headaches, information processing and mental efficiency, and cerebral personality disorders. |

By Nils R. Varney (Editor), Richard J. Roberts (Editor)

Foundations of Sport-Related Brain Injuries
By Semyon Slobounov (Editor), Wayne Sebastianelli (Editor)
Price: 125
Hardcover; 2006
Synopsis
The purpose of the book is to accumulate the latest development in evaluation and management of sport-related concussions, including current assessment of acute traumatic brain injuries, pathophysiology, neuropsychology, sport psychology, biomechanics, neurological treatment and rehabilitation. The clinical significance of the book stems from the fact that injuries to the brain also are the most common catastrophic injuries and a leading cause of death in athletes. It has been estimated that in high school football alone, there are more than 250,000 incidents of mild traumatic brain injury each season, which translates into approximately 20% of all boys who participate in this sport. Multidisciplinary analyses of causes and consequences of concussion have never been accumulated in a single source and/or textbook, though the topic of concussion is currently included in most of the Kinesiology, Exercise and Sport Science, Neuropsychology, Athletic Training, Physical Therapy and Neuroscience programs. |

Mild Head Injury: A Guide to Management
By Philip Wrightson, D. M. A. Gronwall
Price: 49.5
Hardcover; 1999
Synopsis
A practical guide to the management of mild head injury, or concussion. It is now generally accepted that post-concussion syndrome has an organic basis and this has resulted in the emergence of clinics, staffed by interdisciplinary teams, dedicated to addressing the problem. After a short account of the history of thinking on mild head injury and its epidemiology, a section on pathology provides the background to the clinical picture. The coverage then moves on to look at the acute stage and management in the emergency department, followed by a description of the clinical features of the persisting symptoms. There are clear descriptions of the measurements, investigations and examinations to be completed. The authors then move on to look at the neurological, cognitive-behavioural and psychiatric aspects of management and treatment. Specific cases are discussed, including the special considerations when dealing with children, the elderly, executives and sportspeople. At the end of the book there are copies of information sheets and booklets for patients. |

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Postconcussion Syndrome
By Michael A. McCrea
Price: 39.95
Paperback; 2007
Synopsis
This is the first neuropsychology book to translate exciting findings from the recent explosion of research on sport-related concussion to the broader context of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and post-concussive syndrome (PCS) in the general population. In addition, it includes a Continuing Education (CE) component administered by the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology. Traumatic brain injuries constitute a major global public health problem, but until now, MTBIs, which constitute up to 90 percent of all treated TBIs, have been difficult to evaluate and manage clinically because of the absence of a viable model. Dr. McCrea's book thus provides a welcome evidence base for all clinicians - including psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, rehabilitation medicine physicians, physiatrists, and nurses - involved in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of MTBI, as well as attorneys involved in personal injury litigation and personal injury defense. |

Neuropsychological Management of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
By Sarah A. Raskin, Catherine A. Mateer (Editor)
Price: 105
Hardcover; 2000
Synopsis
Despite the importance of the problem, strikingly little has been written about effective approaches to the treatment of individuals with mild to moderate brain injury. This book is designed for neuropsychologists, counseling and rehabilitation psychologists, and other rehabilitation professionals who work with individuals who have sustained brain injuries of mild to moderate severity. It provides a context for understanding and evaluating the common consequences of such injuries and offers both evaluating the common consequences of such injuries and offers both theoretical perspectives and practical suggestions for helping individuals to adjust to and compensate for residual difficulties. Early chapters focus on different domains of cognitive functioning, while later chapters describe clinical approaches to helping clients manage common emotional reactions such as depression, irritability, and anxiety. While the book acknowledges and discusses the controversy about the origins of persistent symptoms following mild brain injures, it does not focus on the controversy. Rather, it adopts a "what works" approach to dealing with individuals who have persistent symptoms and perceptions that contribute to disability and to emotional distress. Many of these individuals benefit significantly from neuropsychological intervention. Case examples throughout the book illustrate the adaptation of cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, and traditional psychotherapeutic approaches to individuals with mild to moderate brain injury. Self-regulation and self-management of both cognitive failures and emotional responses are described as appropriate and effective in this population. |
