This is a stellar quality book that will be beneficial for every member of the multidisciplinary team that is required to treat patients with TBI. It offers a concise but broad and informative view of the disorder, and can serve as an easy-to-read and access primary text. 4 Stars! — Doody’s Reviews

I had owned a previous edition of this book (the 2nd edition) and found this edition to be greatly improved on an already great book.
