Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Justifiable optimism is the theme of this carefully thought-out, clearly written book. Stein and his colleagues survey the growth of knowledge about the brain, its injuries and diseases; examine current approaches to the repair of those traumas and the rehabilitation and retraining of their sufferers; and discuss procedures of examination and diagnosis. Emphasizing Nobel laureate Santiago Ramon y Cajal's refusal to consider brain regeneration as a possibility, they show how this attitude has limited the possibilities for innovative research and treatment; many years of poor communication between laboratory researchers and practicing clinicians have compounded that situation. Citing specific examples of diseases and trauma, the authors show how vital psychosocial factors are for both the present and the future of successful treatment. Professional and lay readers alike should ponder this pioneering book. William Beatty --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
