Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
Encephalitis: Assessment and rehabilitation across the lifespan
About the Book
Encephalitis - inflammation of the brain - has significant cognitive, behavioural
and emotional consequences.
This special edition describes the pathway of recovery following encephalitis, from
medical management to assessment, rehabilitation and community support and advocacy.
The neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric outcomes of encephalitis in both adult
and paediatric populations are described, in addition to a number of rehabilitation
studies which aim to increase the functional independence and psychosocial adjustment
of survivors of this rare neurological condition.

Dictionary of Psychological Testing, Assessment and Treatment
Ian Stuart-Hamilton
This book is a must-have for the bookshelf if you are a student or practitioner
in the fields of psychology or even sociology. It will be of equal value to
anyone working in the fields of brain injury, mental health or related fields.
It is a handbook of references, terms and abbreviations related to neuroanatomy,
psychology, medicine and their experiments and therapies, as well as dipping in
and out of statistical processes and their meanings.
The book will have broad appeal from student to practitioner to doctor.
This book is a new and improved second edition. I only wish I had known of
the existence of the first edition as it will most certainly prove a valuable tool.

Brain Injury
and Returning to Employment
A Guide for Practitioners
James Japp
The multi-disability nature of acquired brain injury and its complex effects make
the return to employment particularly problematic. This book provides a clear overview
of the cognitive difficulties associated with brain injury and discusses how people
affected by it can prepare for and remain in employment.
Japp offers effective occupational techniques to address impaired memory, attention
and executive functions, and difficulties with organisation and planning skills,
as well as the speech impairments commonly associated with acquired brain injury.
He also examines the environmental, emotional, physical and psychological barriers
to work reintegration and offers a range of solutions to these problems, including
mentoring relationships with colleagues.
