Great resource for professionals, families, & patients.

This is a well written, well organized reference for anyone interested in a quick overview or a working understanding of MBTI. The exercises are a great resource for patients and an aid to help family members grasp the day-to-day challenges of people with MBTI.


Useful but needs help with guided approach

Needs more structural work to assist those with varying degrees of disability. More on "how to use this book" would be useful. For brain injury patients, these is no such thing as giving too much direction, ezpecially for those with minimal tolerance for books and written material. I did not find it possible to attack page 4, for example, and move streadily forward from there. Some sections were beond my limit of understanding and patience. It was sometimes difficult to see why the workbook tackled certain topics.

The workbook approach opens the door to a new type of thinking aboutthe issues that is not available in other publcations today and that is the true value of this book.

Excellent book for providing patient education about TBI, and provides exercises that persons with TBI can complete during therapy sessions or at home.


reviews: page 1, 2, 3



It happens in an instant?squealing breaks, a ladder that gives way, a pool cue swung in a moment of rage?but the affects of a blunt-force trauma to the head can last a lifetime. One of the more common injuries that can affect cognitive function, mild traumatic brain injury, or MTBI, affects more that half a million Americans each year, and research suggests that as many as 6.5 million Americans are living with the effects of MTBI. For the first time ever, this book assembles facts about MTBI together with a research-based program that readers can use to overcome the disadvantages of traumatic brain injury.

The book addresses the emotional issues that often accompany MTBI, especially anxiety and depression. Readers learn basic self-help strategies to counteract problems that may be caused by the injury. The later chapters discuss the four major domains of cognitive function and ways in which individuals can challenge their limitations and repair specific brain functions. The book concludes with an exploration of the various potential long-term affects of MTBI and the outside resources available to assist readers.
