Product Description
From Library Journal
Over 325,000 Americans annually suffer mild head trauma from automobile accidents, assaults, falls, sports injuries, etc. With a diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), the individual will be told to rest for a few days or weeks, and, with luck, that may be the end of it. Unfortunately, many of those affected suffer ongoing, debilitating symptoms?migraines, depression, seizures, etc.?for months or even years. Symptoms are unpredictable and are difficult to diagnose because there is no single test to detect MTBI and postconcussive syndrome (PCS). Stoler, a practicing psychologist who has herself experienced mild head injury, and Hill, a psychologist and writer, have compiled a comprehensive manual explaining what is involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of brain-injured people. Presenting short case studies, they discuss the difficult diagnostic context of head trauma and offer practical suggestions for coping with physical and emotional repercussions. Especially valuable for patient education libraries.?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp., New York

Buy this book!,
By John A. Kornak (Waukegan, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coping with Mild Tra Br Injury (Paperback)
I am an attorney. I represent a substantial number of people who have sustained "mild" traumatic brain injuries. I have many books in my personal library on this subject. I must say that this book is easily the most accessible and well written I've encountered on TBI. Almost every day I recommend this book to someone. I've handed it out to so many of my clients, and to clients' family members, that I'm contemplating a bulk-rate purchase. On many occasions, I've heard back from people to whom I've given this book, and it's as if a light goes on in their heads. They finally understand that they (or their injured family member) are not "going crazy," that their illness is real. It is gratifying to get this feedback because, for many, it's a first step into their new life. If you (who are reading this review) are a TBI survivor, or a friend or family member of a TBI survivor, I highly recommend purchasing, reading, and inwardly digesting this fine book.

Mild TBI only- don't get this book for a glimpse into...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coping with Mild Tra Br Injury (Paperback)
where to go for a more serious TBI. The book is sufficient and does have some resources listed for those who have or have been affected by someone with a MILD TBI. It has short snippits of others who have TBI which leave the reader longing for more detail- patricularly about outcome. This is not the book for those with anything more than a MILD TBI- for those with mild TBI you should find some useful info, if not solace that you're not alone, but for those needing more specific info on what to do after the dust settles, particularly with a more serious brain injury this book is not for you.

Comprehensive, Informative, Easy to Read, a Lifesaver,
By CJ Rhoads (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coping with Mild Tra Br Injury (Paperback)
One of my therapists recommended this book to me - and boy what a difference it makes to know that I'm not alone, that I'm not going crazy, and that things are not as hopeless as they appear. I don't know if I would have gotten through the trials and tribulations after the car accident last year if it weren't for this wonderful book (along with "Brainlash by Gail Denton). I actually put yellow sticky notes on dozens of the pages and took it in with me when I went to see my doctor. It was SO HELPFUL. If you've been in a car accident or been through any kind of head trauma and have been having trouble getting "back to normal", then get this book. It will help.
