Good book for the professional,

This review is from: Neuropsychosocial Intervention: The Practical Treatment of Severe Behavioral Dyscontrol After Acquired Brain Injury (Hardcover)
This book is a great reference for professional staff who work on a brain injury treatment unit ... IF they have a position which allows some ability to impact on other staff. The behavior management suggestions are practical and helpful. Again, however, they require the ability to gain cooperation from all the staff, so this book will not be terribly helpful to a clinical staff person looking for practical suggestions for managing behaviors of specific individuals in their daily work.
