Overview

Brain Injury Medicine - which includes free ebook access with every print purchase - is a clear and comprehensive guide to all aspects of the management of traumatic brain injury-from early diagnosis and evaluation through the post-acute period and rehabilitation. An essential reference for physicians and other health care professionals who work with patients with brain injury, the book focuses on assessment and treatment of the wider variety of clinical problems these patients face and addresses many associated concerns such as epidemiology, ethical issues, legal issues, and life-care planning. Written by over 190 acknowledged leaders, the text covers the full spectrum of the practice of brain injury medicine including principles of neural recovery, neuroimaging and neurodiagnostic testing, prognosis and outcome, acute care, rehabilitation, treatment of specific populations, neurologic and other medical problems following injury, cognitive and behavioral problems, post-trauma pain disorders, pharmacologic and alternative treatments, and community reentry and productivity.

Editorial Reviews

"This text provides a solid overview of the key topics and clinical and professional issues that are relevant to the TBI field and thus it can serve as a desk reference that will be picked up often. The chapters in Brain Injury Medicine are deeply rooted in research and theory as the editors have pulled together some of the most prominent researchers and clinicians in the field of TBI as contributors for this book... New clinicians and experienced providers alike will easily be able to glean important understanding for each topic area discussed." - Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation

"I recommend this book very highly to anyone in our discipline looking for a state-of-the-art summary of all the many dimensions to one of our most troubling public health problems. In the course of almost four decades in the mind/brain sciences, I have reviewed easily a dozen or more of these massive textbook compilations on various subjects in the neurosciences and I would have to place this volume at the top, as one of the very best on any subject. It took real courage from the editors and the publishers to bear the risks and challenges of creating this large a volume, to say nothing of the hard work and effort. Bravo to the editors and the many contributors for this absolutely first rate compilation!" - Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology

Brain Injury Medicine, 2nd edition succeeds in being the comprehensive resource for virtually anyone who encounters patients with traumatic brain injury. The text provides an in depth review of the latest science for evidence based decision making. Further it brings consistency to nomenclature, evaluation and treatment which serves as the foundation for future advances in TBI care. - Brain Injury (Informa)

It is no surprise that Drs. Zasler, Katz, and Zafonte have once again produced the exceptional gold standard reference manual on brain injury, Brain Injury Medicine, Principles and Practice, a second edition of their widely celebrated original text from 2008. With the proliferation of issues in brain injury, this book will guide us in keeping pace with evidence based medicine and best practices regarding the biomechanics of injury, neuroplasticity, neuroimaging and neurodiagnostic testing from acute care to post-acute treatment, community re-entry and life care planning. - Brain Injury Professional

Praise for the First Edition

"...A 'go-to' reference for any clinician treating individuals with brain injury... The editors have assembled a single resource for physiatrists, neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, psychologists, and other medical specialists, as well as for legal professionals and patient advocates. A medical condition of this magnitude and scope requires the thoughtful and wide-ranging coverage this text provides. It will quickly become the authoritative desk reference sought by clinicians practicing brain injury medicine."-The New England Journal of Medicine

"Brain Injury Medicine is clearly a 'go-to' textbook that belongs on the shelves of brain injury professionals across the board- physicians, psychologists, therapists, and treatments specialists. It contains a depth and breadth of information on the science of brain injury and the state of the art in treating individuals. The editors and chapter authors of this excellent textbook deserve to be complimented for their expertise and commitment to helping professionals expand their knowledge of brain injury treatment, research, and service delivery."-Brain Injury Professional

"A much-needed and welcome addition to the brain injury medical literature... an excellent comprehensive clearinghouse for state-of-the-art knowledge in brain injury medicine today... Anyone caring for brain-injured patients would do well to obtain this book for use as a go-to reference, a teaching tool, and for assistance with the many medical and rehabilitation management issues which face this patient population and the clinicians who care for them."-Doody's Reviews
