"This book presents the current state of knowledge regarding the behavioural and emotional effects that can occur as sequelae of TBI, and addressing issues associated with their differential diagnosis and the neurobiological mechanisms by which these might occur." "The Behavioural and Emotional Complications of Traumatic Brain Injury will prove as an excellent resource not only for clinicians who practice as psychiatrists, behavioural neurologists, clinical neuro-psychologists, and clinical psychologists, but also for psychologists in advanced training and for anyone who is involved in caring for or working with individuals with TBI."--BOOK JACKET.
