| Abstract
|
:
|
Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation offers a wide range of new ideas for service delivery, treatment and evaluation of outcome. "Part One presents the size and nature of the problem in clinical and epidemiological terms at national, regional and local levels, in both urban and rural settings and offers suggestions for appropriate patterns of service." "Part Two has selected distinctive approaches and innovations in treatment such as the use of compensatory strategies in slow information processing, the use of behavioural techniques and a group approach to developing communication skills." "Part Three describes the rationale for choosing methods of assessing outcome and the difficulties and advantages of existing methods." "The book will be an invaluable resource for doctors, therapists, managers and other health professionals working with people with brain injury."--Jacket.
