{"product_id":"9781461279952","title":"Traumatic Brain Injury and Neuropsychological Impairment: Sensorimotor, Cognitive, Emotional, and Adaptive Problems of Children and Adults","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraumatic Brain Injury and Neuropsychological Impairment is a comprehensive clinical and research source concerning the diagnosis, consequences and treatment of trauma injury. Dr. Parker's many years of experience as a psychological examiner, with current medical and neuropsychological references, make this clear, concise text valuable for teachers and students of neuropsychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry and neurology; general practitioners and other physicians; rehabilitation professionals; nurses; public health officials and families of victims. Exploding the myth of so-called \"minor head injury\", it describes the gross impairment caused by vehicular accidents, assaults, falls, falling objects, neurotoxins, child abuse, etc. Diagnosis is approached as deviations from pre-injury baseline, as well as neuropsychological and neurological symptoms. Proper emphasis is given to the integrated functioning of the brain, including the importance of subcortical injury for impairment. Contents include: epidemiology; case histories with patients' experience of impairment and altered identity; neuroanatomy and neuropsychological principles (with diagrams); primary and secondary brain pathology; a taxonomy of dysfunctions (including emotional, adaptive, post traumatic stress, sense of identity); children's brain damage; \"Expressive Defects\" (patients' inability to describe their impairment); neurotoxins; the eclectic neuropsychological examination; psychotherapy; pharmacological treatment (Arthur Greenspan, MD); Rorschach applications; intake interviews (children and adults) and comprehensive symptom checklist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048979677424,"sku":"9781461279952","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461279952_p0.jpg?v=1763673248","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461279952","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
