Sommario/riassunto

The number of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with some kind of traumatic brain injury is increasing daily, and has wide ranging effects including physical disfigurement, social stigma, emotional distress, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In Combat-Related Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD: A Resource and Recovery Guide, authors Cheryl Lawhorne and Don Philpott offer guidance for the returning veteran, from treatment options, to diagnostic criteria and techniques, to resources for rehabilitation and support.
