Description: A comprehensive textbook provides a wealth of scientific, yet easy-to-understand information, from both research and clinical practice, on the complex neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI.

Expanded chapters discuss the multiple neuropsychiatric sequelae not endcompassed by the usual psychiatric syndromes, including, apathy, reduced awareness of deficits, fatigue, pain, headaches, balance problems, visual difficulties, and sports injuries.
