Neurobehavioural Disability and Social Handicap Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Second Edition

Neurobehavioural disability follows many forms of serious brain injury and is a major constraint on social independence. Rehabilitation services are often not organised in a way which addresses the needs of people with such disability, and relatively few professionals have experience in the clinical management of complex disability patterns. This book brings together a group of leading academics and practicing clinicians to provide an overview of the nature of neurobehavioural disability, how it translates into social handicap, and what can be done to address the problems generated by such handicap, through social and behavioural rehabilitation, vocational training, and family education.
