Description
New Frontiers in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury provides an evidence base for clinical practice specific to traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained during childhood, with a focus on functional outcomes. It utilizes a biological-psychosocial conceptual framework consistent with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, which highlights that biological, psychological, and social factors all play a role in disease and children's recovery from acquired brain injury. With its clinical perspective, it incorporates current and past research and evidence regarding advances that have occurred in outcomes, predictors, medical technology, and rehabilitation post-TBI.
This book is great resource for established and new clinicians and researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows who work in the field of pediatric TBI, including psychologists, neuropsychologists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists.

Reviews / Votes
All neuropsychologists working with brain injured children should read this book. It is helpful, informative, interesting and often fascinating. There is a wealth of information contained in its pages, including the important and rarely addressed issue of the evolution of the brain injured child into adulthood.- Barbara A. Wilson, founder of the Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, Ely, United Kingdom
This volume provides an essential update of advancements in understanding the outcomes, predictors, and needs of children with traumatic brain injuries. Written by key authorities in the field, it is a must-have resource for professionals who serve this special population.
