Book excerpt: Behavioral neuropsychology presents at once achallenge and an opportunity for the field ofbehavior analysis. A great diversity of problem areas-including education, classroom management, child rearing, retardation, and industry have been treated effectively by the behavior analytic approach, which has traditionally and quite deliberately chosen to deemphasize physiology and cognitive variables. Yet brain injury, by its nature, entails neurological insult that is often closely related to specific cognitive dysfunctions. The challenge for behavior analysis is to develop effective treatments for a disorder with such clearly defined tripartite characteristics. The opportunity exists for be havior analysis to expand its conceptual basis as well as to provide benefits to patients otherwise despairing of assistance. Case histories demonstrate over 20 years of successful applications of behavior analysis to brain-injured in dividuals, indicating that some applications are possible, but are these reports notable exceptions or the harbingers of a new general therapeutic approach? The present book describes an overall focused behaviaral program far dealing with the diversity of brain injury problems in a general brain injury rehabilitation setting. The authors describe what types of neurological damage are associated with specific types of cognitive/emotional dysfunction and in turn with specific types ofbehavioral dysfunction, thereby demonstrating how the choice ofbehavioral treatment is guided by the neurological and subjective assessment. The result is a conceptually unified approach. The distinctive value of this book lies in the detail as well as the pro grammatic guidelines for actual implementation ofthis behavioral approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly revised and updated work covers numerous advances in traumatic brain injury diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and pathophysiology. Since publication of the first edition in 2012, there has been greatly increased public awareness of the clinical consequences of even the mildest of head injuries, and the result has been a concerted effort of countries around the world to increase research funding. This second edition continues to focus on mild traumatic brain injury--or concussion--and contains updates to all the original chapters as well as adding new chapters addressing clinical sequelae, including pediatric concussion, visual changes, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and blast-associated TBI. Traumatic Brain Injury: A Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis, Management, and Rehabilitation, Second Edition, is a comprehensive resource designed for neurologists, primary care clinicians, sports physicians, and other medical providers, including psychologists and neuropsychologists, as well as athletic trainers who may evaluate and care for individuals who have sustained a TBI. The book features summaries of the most pertinent areas of diagnosis and therapy, which can be readily accessed by the busy clinician/professional. In addition, the book's treatment algorithms provide a highly practical reference to cutting edge therapies, and an updated appendix of ICD codes is included. An outstanding contribution to the literature, Traumatic Brain Injury: A Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis, Management, and Rehabilitation, Second Edition, again offers an invaluable resource for all providers who treat patients with TBI.

Book excerpt: Have you suffered a concussion? Do you still have symptoms that won't get better? Do you wonder why your brain is not back to normal despite everyone telling you it should be?"Concussions" or minor head injuries are common. Half of us will experience one at some point in our life. Most people make a swift and complete recovery, but a significant proportion suffers ongoing problems that can last many months. Frequently called the "hidden disability", people suffering head injuries often feel alone in their suffering and struggle to know what to do to get better.A common misperception is that these problems are from a damaged brain and there is nothing that can be done to help. But in Concussion: What has happened to my brain? Consultant Neurologist and Brain Injury Expert, Dr Peter Jenkins, explains how a minor head injury can affect the brain, the different potential causes for persisting symptoms and the simple measures that can be taken to help resolve them.An understanding of what has happened to the brain and the cause of any residual symptoms is a crucial step towards recovery. This book details the changes that can happen in the brain and the reason behind some of the myths surrounding this condition. Treatable symptoms are frequently neglected after a head injury because of the false belief that nothing can be done to help. However, this is often not the case and the book outlines simple, effective treatments.
