The book provides insights for conquering the cognitive and emotional consequences of brain injury for individuals and families, as well as for educators, therapists, and medical professionals.
The experience of brain injury does not have to be permanently dark and lonely. Instead, through an examination of personal values, the affirmation of hope, an on-going appraisal of realistic expectations, and application of specific rehabilitation strategies, life can once again have meaning, joy, and contentment.Normal Again focuses on a compassionate understanding of the personal experience of brain injury, with medical and psychological detail sufficient for gaining a basic understanding of brain injury. This is complemented with practical information about psychological, family, and vocational adjustments-and how to accomplish them-necessary for going beyond the usual scope of brain injury rehabilitation.
