Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Winslade presents facts about traumatic brain injury; information about its financial and emotional costs to individuals, families, and society; and key ethical and policy issues. He illustrates each aspect with dramatic case studies, including his own childhood brain injury. He explains how the brain works and how severe injuries affect it, both immediately and over the long term, pointing out how resources are often squandered on patients with poor prognoses but adequate insurance, while underinsured patients with better prognoses often do not receive the best care. He describes the lack of regulation in the rehabilitation industry and what federal and state legislatures are doing to correct the situation. And he recommends policy changes for lowering the instances of traumatic brain injury (such as raising the minimum driving age) as well as practical steps that individuals can take to protect themselves from brain trauma. William J. Winslade is James Wade Rockwell Professor of Philosophy in Medicine at the Institute for the Medical Humanities, professor of preventive medicine and community health, and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. He is also Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Houston Health Law and Policy Institute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many individuals who have suffered brain injuries often experience emotional seizures, which are uncontrollable verbal and physical outbursts resulting from frustration. These seizures can be distressing for all parties involved. However, it's important to note that there is hope for managing them effectively. Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is common for individuals to exhibit behavioral issues. The injured brain's ability to handle frustration becomes severely limited, and TBI survivors face daily challenges in coping with the healing process. Consequently, an overwhelmed brain can easily lead to sudden outbursts, whether verbal or physical. By identifying and addressing triggers, it is possible to significantly reduce the occurrence of these emotional seizures. In the book, we explore various triggers that commonly provoke emotional seizures and provide practical advice for effectively managing them. This resource aims to equip individuals with tips and tricks to better navigate and alleviate the impact of emotional seizures on their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The permanent effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are not limited to the person who suffers the injury. People who care for the individual, particularly family members, suffer in various ways. Family members are often confused as to the behavioral and neuropsychological changes that they see in a brain-injured rela tive. They can become frustrated and angry when the individual does not return to premorbid levels of functioning. They can become tired and worn down from repeated problems in trying to manage the individual's difficulties while having only fragmented information regarding them. Drs. Smith and Godfrey have provided a useful service for family members by summarizing important neuropsychological changes associated with TBI and providing practical guidelines for coping with these problems. While the neuropsychological problems they describe are not completely understood, the authors provide a useful description of many of the neuro behavioral problems seen following TBI in young adults. They attempt to provide guidelines for family members that have practical utility in understanding and managing these patients. Theirs is a cognitive-behavioral approach that can have utility for this group of individuals. I applaud their efforts to provide something systematic and practical for family members.

Book excerpt: This book was developed as a result of my own experience as an MTBI sufferer (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury). It was two years after the injury, before I could get an accurate diagnosis of my problems, and three years before effective therapies began to change my life for the better. Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is often undetected, and sometimes hard to diagnose. Only the person, who is suffering, knows that something is wrong. When I suffered the Injury I struggled for many years at a personal level. Something was very wrong, would I ever get better. The Injury put my whole world into turmoil. This book covers how MTBI has now become more recognized by the medical professionals, and how it can be diagnosed and strategies on how to cope with life following the Injury. My wish is sufferers and people around them get a better understanding and appreciation of MTBI.

Book excerpt: The author, a clinical social worker, tells the story of how her personal and professional life was disrupted when she was struck by a car and sustained a traumatic brain injury. She describes how the injury impacted her physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and recounts her struggles to resume a meaningful life in the face of medical, financial, insurance, and legal problems. Days of Daze is a book of hope. When hit by a car during a noontime walk, the author, in a split second, loses her health, her job, and her image of herself as an intelligent and capable human being. As she struggles with the myriad complexities of her medical situation, she discovers a place within her that touches the divine, sustains her in hours of darkness, and illuminates the pathways of vibrant living. I highly recommend this gentle, gracious, and very readable book for anyone facing the uncertainties and complexities of life. Actually, I recommend it for everyone.--Reverend James McConnell, South Bend, Indiana Days of Daze provides us with a source of encouragement in the journey through the great difficulty and frustration of traumatic brain injury. The author reveals to us her coping skills and her growing inner courage as she shares her struggle with the perceived setbacks in the process of therapeutic acceptance.--Matthew Davis, M.D., psychiatrist, South Bend, Indiana Days of Daze shows how encountering a serious physical injury can be a profoundly enriching growth experience. It demonstrates that a well-lived life fully accepts each painful circumstance.--Judy Cassidy, Poet, Stevensville, Michigan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian and Faith-based Counseling for Brain Injury is the first book of its kind to offer faith-based therapy to address the emotional, cognitive, and mental health needs of individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A highly researched piece of work, the book puts forth an innovative and effective method for not only addressing the challenges of a life-changing injury but also for creating a sense of purpose. Through the nuances of faith-based counselling, this book focuses on the spiritual and existential aspects of understanding the diagnosis and creating a purpose post-injury. It examines how brain injury can affect an individual by exploring the deficits of brain injury, the impact of brain injury, and the challenges specific to damage to certain brain lobes. It also describes the mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and posttraumatic stress, that can affect both the survivor and their family members. Offering targeted counseling techniques and adaptive strategies, it shows how faith-based counselors can effectively treat brain injury. This book is valuable reading for all individuals invested in providing support to the TBI community. It is aimed at counselors, lay counselors, healthcare professionals, social workers, psychotherapists, seminary students, and upper-level graduate students. It will further be of use to for clinicians working in the outpatient level of care and private practice settings.

Book excerpt: Bart Goldstein was only sixteen when he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident in 2001. No Stone Unturned is the saga of Bart’s struggle to regain his life. Told from his father’s point of view, the book chronicles the family’s ordeal, and flashbacks fill in Bart’s life since he arrived from Korea at the age of five months. Considering every possibility in their search for remedies to Bart’s catastrophic injuries, the Goldsteins explored several promising alternatives, including craniosacral, hyperbaric oxygen, sensory learning, and vision restoration therapies. Bart’s remarkable recovery resulted from a combination of conventional medicine and alternative and emerging therapies. TBI has now become the "signature injury” for thousands of wounded warriors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; this timely book offers profound insights into what survivors and their families must face. Anyone struggling with this "invisible” disability will find the book insightful, inspiring, and useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just the facts for coping with the after-effects of a brain injury Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) usually refers to people who have suffered a head injury or stroke but also includes those who have had brain tumours, an anoxic injury (where the brain has been starved of oxygen) or brain illnesses like encephalitis and meningitis. After an ABI, the brain undergoes a very slow healing process before improvements slow down and eventually plateau. This is different to other forms of brain conditions where the journey is more of a deteriorating one over time. ABI is commonly called 'a hidden disability' as it can easily be missed or misunderstood by others. Also it can significantly affect those close to the person and therefore it is frequently called 'a family affair' too. As the issues are often hidden, complicated and affect patients and families alike, this book can act as a roadmap to help you and your loved ones navigate through the complex and often unexpected challenges that can arise following a brain injury, using: - Cognitive rehabilitation approaches to understand and manage changes in our thinking abilities - Cognitive behavioural approaches to address ways in which our thoughts, feelings, actions and physical reactions relate to each other Dr Nigel King is a consultant clinical neuropsychologist specialising in brain injury. He is the clinical lead of the Community Head Injury Service, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, UK and neuropsychological lead at the Oxford Institute of Clinical Psychology Training & Research, University of Oxford. He has published widely on brain injury and he regularly speaks on the subject at national and international conferences.

This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This empirically based book provides conceptual knowledge and practical advice to enable clinicians to implement evidence-based methods drawn from learning theory for managing the catastrophic effects of challenging behaviour as an enduring outcome of acquired brain injury (ABI). Based on a conceptual framework of neurobehavioural disability, the book takes a holistic case formulation approach, incorporating functional assessment procedures arising from the operant learning tradition that underpins the design of treatment interventions. It bridges the knowledge gap in uniquely providing a single resource to enable practitioners to implement evidence-based methods to better manage ABI behaviour disorders. The authors, who are leading experts in the field, have described a model of intervention based on a functional analytic approach to understanding behaviour within an operant learning framework. The chapters provide a step-by-step approach to assessment, formulation, intervention and evaluation of behaviour support plans, and feature examples for specific challenging behaviours in a variety of different contexts. The book is organised to support the use of this model through expert contributions concerning the origins of challenging behaviour, assessment methods and formulation, and interventions. The practical orientation of this book makes it an indispensable read for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists and other rehabilitation specialists involved in the care of people with ABI as well as researchers in these fields.
