The reader may be taken by surprise that so many of the chapter authors are "elite" clinical neuropsychologists who have not previously been known to "believe in" mild TBI. They offer a wealth of information, questions and referencs. The text in most chapters is refreshingly free of test bound restrictions on inference or the usual lame rationales for discarding all mild TBI because the majority are OK. The book is a must for working clinicians in neuropsychology, neurology and psychiatry.

This work covers mild TBI as though it were real (which it probably is) in an informative and clinically hepful manner. The 23 chapters cover a very wide range of topics and are consistently excellent (if occasioally quirky). There is nothing else available at all on this topic, so it is easy to say it is the best. It is excellent in design and content.

This book presents a rather slanted view of mild head impact, and presupposes many things as fact that are not supported by the scientific literature. This is particularly borne out by the chapter on scientific issues that firmly refutes the unusual thinking presented in the other chapters.
