Abstract
Considerable attention has been given in the literature to the impact of closed head injury on the family (Brooks, 1984; Brown & McCormick, 1988). Stressors, as well as other factors, contributing to posttrauma family adjustment have been delineated (Braciszeski, 1987). This chapter will review this other work and will propose another perspective from which to view family restructuring after closed head injury.
