Living with Brain Injury: A Guide for Families

by Richard C. Senelick, Karla Dougherty

Science and medicine are never static. There are always new treatments, new pharmaceuticals, and new insights being discovered—exciting frontiers that take us deeper into the brain, our bodies, and the way we live. The second edition of Living with Brain Injury was written to help people living with brain-injured survivors—both families and professionals alike—keep up with the newest information available including experimental rehabilitation research, the process of plasticity, and the process of rehabilitation itself. Inside you will find the resources and strategies to better cope with a world where the one you love has changed seemingly before your eyes. There is hope—and it is here.

Found this in the pile of medical documents and read just enough so scare myself and Travis silly. How did I ever get through that accident? I'm SO lucky.

This was a self-imposed work assignment so that I can try to understand some of the library patrons better.

If you want to know what to expect when dealing with a brain injured person this is the book. It covers the emergency phase to years later.
