Abstract
No illness or physical insult has a more disruptive or painful impact on the lives of both victims and their families than does a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Bewildered and frightened, they turn to the professionals for answers. How will the injury affect the survivor? Is recovery possible? Will it be complete? Are there therapeutic measures that will help? How do they bring about improvement?
