5.0 out of 5 stars A realistic view of head injury and post-concussion syndrome, February 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Head Injury and Postconcussive Syndrome, 1e (Hardcover)

The Rizzo & Tranel text is one of the more comprehensive and informed treatments of the topic of head injury and post-concussive phenomena. It covers all aspects of brain injury -- from neuropathological substrates through cognitive and psychosocial outcome -- and provides a realistic appraisal of the continuum of head injury. The contributors are drawn from major academic medical centers, and are recognized leaders in the field of traumatic brain injury. I highly recommend this text.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very slanted view of head trauma., September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Head Injury and Postconcussive Syndrome, 1e (Hardcover)

This book could have been much better, but instead in a set of disjointed chapters which are selected, apparently, from former students and associates. Content regarding patients is often insulting. Inclusion of a very defense oriented chapter o legal aspects of head injury is ighly inappropriate and unfair.
