Description

"This book underlines the importance of patients' subjective experience of brain disease or injury, and the frustration and confusion they undergo. It shows that the symptom picture is a mixture of premorbid cognitive and personal characteristics with the neuropsychological changes directly associated with brain pathology. By closely observing the patient's behavior, the clinician can teach him or her about the direct and indirect effects of brain damage. The book provides guidelines for the remediation of higher cerebral disturbances and for the management of patients' interpersonal problems. It presents a new perspective on disorders of self-awareness and on the phenomena of recovery as well as deterioration after brain injury. It will be an invaluable resource for psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists involved in neuropsychological rehabilitation."--Jacket.
