The Evaluation and Treatment of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Though some chapters offer arguments about whether, and to what degree mild head injury has lasting neuropsychological sequelae, most move beyond the debate to discuss practical aspects. Topics include forces and accelerations in car accidents and resultant brain injuries; mild head injury and sports medicine; use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) with mild, closed head injury; emotional recognition and psychosocial behavior in closed head injury; posttraumatic headaches; pharmacologic treatment; therapy for spouses of head injured patients; and mild traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents.
