Overcoming Grief and Loss after Brain Injury is a practical, comprehensive, and simply-written book that provides foundational brain injury information and coping resources for persons recovering from and living with the disabilities that accompany this devastating injury. The book guides the reader toward self-assessment of their own concerns related to common post injury domains of impairment. Following help in identifying individual injury-related problems, the book provides clients with instructions and practice in use of a multitude of evidence-based compensatory strategies and coping skills. Clients can use the book to improve their cognitive, emotional, and functional status after brain injury. The book is written to assist patients, even if they are not able to work with a therapist or counselor. The supportive and therapeutic components of the book include the normalizing of brain injury symptoms and emotional responses, supported self-assessment, stress and emotional management techniques, compensatory strategies for a wide range of typical post injury deficits, links to community resources, and ideas for returning to work.

Many individuals who have suffered brain injuries often experience emotional seizures, which are uncontrollable verbal and physical outbursts resulting from frustration. These seizures can be distressing for all parties involved. However, it's important to note that there is hope for managing them effectively. Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is common for individuals to exhibit behavioral issues. The injured brain's ability to handle frustration becomes severely limited, and TBI survivors face daily challenges in coping with the healing process. Consequently, an overwhelmed brain can easily lead to sudden outbursts, whether verbal or physical. By identifying and addressing triggers, it is possible to significantly reduce the occurrence of these emotional seizures. In the book, we explore various triggers that commonly provoke emotional seizures and provide practical advice for effectively managing them. This resource aims to equip individuals with tips and tricks to better navigate and alleviate the impact of emotional seizures on their lives.

The permanent effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are not limited to the person who suffers the injury. People who care for the individual, particularly family members, suffer in various ways. Family members are often confused as to the behavioral and neuropsychological changes that they see in a brain-injured rela tive. They can become frustrated and angry when the individual does not return to premorbid levels of functioning. They can become tired and worn down from repeated problems in trying to manage the individual's difficulties while having only fragmented information regarding them. Drs. Smith and Godfrey have provided a useful service for family members by summarizing important neuropsychological changes associated with TBI and providing practical guidelines for coping with these problems. While the neuropsychological problems they describe are not completely understood, the authors provide a useful description of many of the neuro behavioral problems seen following TBI in young adults. They attempt to provide guidelines for family members that have practical utility in understanding and managing these patients. Theirs is a cognitive-behavioral approach that can have utility for this group of individuals. I applaud their efforts to provide something systematic and practical for family members.

Therapists' Guide to Overcoming Grief and Loss after Brain Injury is written as a neurobehavioral and cognitive intervention manual for clinicians who counsel persons with brain injury. The Therapist's Guide provides step-by-step protocols, using the content of the patient workbook Overcoming Grief and Loss after Brain Injury. Each of the 9 Lessons can be used as a basis for therapy appointments with consumers. Most mental health clinicians do not fully understand the special learning needs of this client population or how to modify the usual psychotherapy or counseling process to accommodate their unique impairments and allow them to benefit. The Therapists' Guide provides the structure, grounded in the current brain injury literature that allows the clinician to teach and guide the client effectively.

A wide-range study of victims of head injury often reveals disorders that are neglected by less extensive examinations, and dispels the idea that there is usually a benign outcome. Focusing on a public health problem affecting millions of people of all ages, with approximately 1,300 references, Concussive Brain Trauma: Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation addresses such topics as the recognition of minor traumatic brain injury in the emergency room and clinical practice. The book is unique in its coverage of the personality changes, family dysfunction, and stress that often occur in wake of concussive brain trauma. Case examples illustrate persistent and acute alterations of consciousness, as well as cognitive, mood, personality, and social effects of head injury, in order to guide appropriate treatment. In addition, the book documents unfamiliar signs not included in the usual list of postconcussive symptoms. Concussive Brain Trauma: Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation stands alone as an in-depth, authoritative guide to the condition also described as closed head injury and "minor" traumatic brain injury.
