ForewordTRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) is a major publichealth problem in the United States, yet it is hardly recognized and receives little support or attention from the media and policy makers. As a family, we have lived with theconsequences of TBI for many years. We know from firsthand experience the suffering and pain, the frustration anddisappointment, and the anger and grief families gothrough after TBI.Information is the key to understanding TBI andbringing about the support that people with TBI need.The cost in terms of dollars is staggering, more than 48billion per year; the costs to families and individuals withTBI are overwhelming.We decided to write this foreword for the new Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury because it is comprehensiveand addresses the key problems of psychosocial and psychological deficits, which are the major sources of disability after TBI. We believe that a major part of the reasonTBI is not recognized as a major health problem is thelack of scientific, understandable information on the neuropsychological sequelae of TBI. There has been a lack ofappropriate education in this area for psychiatrists, forother mental health professionals, and for those involvedin the rehabilitation of persons with TBI. This text goesa long way in fulfilling this educational need.This text will help in the understanding of the complex nature of TBI and in the education of professionals,who often are not trained in treating TBI. The authorsare all well known in the field, and the topics coveredprovide a rich source of information and material all inone text.There are 40 chapters divided into seven sections covering everything from epidemiology, aggressive disorders, cognitive changes, fatigue and sleep problems,chronic pain, mood disorders, family systems, and pharmacological therapy to prevention. In other words, thistext is so full of data-based information and useful material that it is a must read for everyone involved in the careand treatment of TBI, as well as for those concernedabout training and prevention.We are grateful to Professor Jonathan M. Silver,M.D., Professor Thomas W. McAllister, M.D., and Professor Stuart C. Yudofsky, M.D., for editing and organizing this text.xviiSarah and James Brady

PrefaceEACH YEAR IN the United States, more than three million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In thispopulation, the psychosocial and psychological deficits arethe major source of disability to the patient and of stress tothe family. Patients may have difficulties in many vital areasof functioning, including family, interpersonal, work, school,and recreational activities. Many have extreme personalitychanges. Unfortunately, the psychiatric impairments causedby TBI often are unrecognized because of the deficiency ofappropriate education in this area for psychiatrists and othermental health professionals. Most clinicians lack experiencein treating and evaluating patients with TBI and are, therefore, unaware of the many subtle but disabling symptoms.In 1994, we edited the book Neuropsychiatry of Traumatic Brain Injury as a comprehensive data-based text toserve as a clinically relevant and practical guide to theneuropsychiatric assessment and treatment of patientswith TBI. Since that time, there has been an explosion of information in this area. We have greatly expanded our previous book and decided to change the title to Textbook ofTraumatic Brain Injury. The emphasis remains on the neuropsychiatric aspects of traumatic brain injury, and we recognize that this edition does not address all aspects of acutemanagement, neurosurgical interventions, and rehabilitation interventions. Whereas in the initial volume there wasone chapter on neuropsychiatric assessment, that chapterhas been divided into separate chapters that cover structuralimaging, functional imaging, and electrophysiologic techniques. The first volume also included a chapter on neuropsychological assessment. We realized that readers can findmany chapters and texts on this issue. Therefore, we havedecided to include a chapter that specifically addresses issuesrelevant to TBI that arise during neuropsychological assessment. All chapters covering neuropsychiatric disorders havebeen revised. To address the multiple neuropsychiatric sequelae experienced by our patients, but not encompassed bythe usual psychiatric syndromes, we included chapters reviewing apathy, awareness of deficits, fatigue, pain, headaches, balance problems, visual difficulties, and sports injuries. New chapters on social issues and systems of care areincluded. The full range of treatment modalities is discussed,including a chapter on alternative therapies.xixAs before, we have endeavored to assemble a group ofauthors who are authoritative and renowned in their areas. We hope that this book will be used by psychiatrists,neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, physiatrists,neurologists, and other professionals, including residentsand trainees, involved in brain injury rehabilitation.We have learned from readers’ comments in our otherbooks, such as The American Psychiatric Press Textbook ofNeuropsychiatry, that few people read a textbook from coverto cover. Most read only one or several chapters during anyparticular period. Consequently, we tried to ensure th
