Corrigan, PhD, Professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, The Ohio State University This is an invaluable resource for professionals working with persons who have disability due to neurological disorders, or "neurodisability." The explosion of suicides among persons with neurological impairments, especially those with traumatic brain injury, deserves the focused attention provided in this volume. The book is thoroughcovering theory, neurobiology, epidemiology, assessment, intervention, and prevention. The seven chapters addressing clinical care build on previous research and practice to elucidate novel perspectives and new approaches.
