Clinical and Neuropsychological Aspects of Closed Head Injury (Brain Damage, Behaviour & Cognition)

The clinical problem of treating head injury patients is not one to be solved by a dramatic medical breakthrough, but one which must be tackled by a better appreciation of their condition from both the neurological and the psychological points of view. It is therefore not surprising that there is a growing interest in research on the effects of closed head injury. The purpose of this book is to review the clinical and neuropsychological aspects of closed head injury in a manner which is intelligible to both clinicians and psychologists.
