Sinopsis

This concise reference clarifies the gray areas between traumatic brain injury and PTSD while providing an empirically sound framework for neuropsychological evaluation and differential diagnosis. Its extended research review summarizes findings on key topics including the neuroanatomy of brain injury, test battery design and selection, and the salience of accurate diagnosis to ensuring appropriate specialized treatment. The authors offer the possibility of combined diagnosis as well as injuries that may fall through the diagnostic cracks, and consider possible relationships between TBI, PTSD, and the dementias, including AlzheimerâÇÖs disease. This knowledge base and the practical guidelines it informs are presented so that readers can better:á·áááááááá Understand the clinical distinctions between TBI and PTSD, and among forms of TBI.·áááááááá Recognize cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and social components of the disorders. ·áááááááá Identify skill areas for neuropsychological evaluation of patients.·áááááááá Select appropriate instruments for individualized assessment.·áááááááá Address test administration and interpretation concerns.·áááááááá Make an accurate differential diagnosis between PTSD and TBI.áWith its sharp focus on the nuances of trauma and recovery, The Intercorrelation of Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD in Neuropsychological Evaluations will find a wide, interested audience among psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, social workers, mental health counselors, undergraduate and graduate level students, and researchers.
