Few medical and
legal professionals would have trouble locating a book on
traumatic brain injury and forensic neuropsychology. But
to locate a text on the forensic assessment process and
clinical issues of TBI is akin to finding a needle in a
haystack. Very few, if any, works exist on the subject.
The
Forensic Evaluation of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Handbook
for Clinicians and Attorneys fills
this void.
It provides both
the clinician involved in forensic examinations and the
legal professional involved in litigation or legal proceedings
of personal injury with a general overview of the legal
issues and assessment process in TBI cases.
The book begins
with an overview of key issues involved in the forensic
assessment of TBI, including definitions and medical diagnostic
terminology of interest to the forensic examiner and legal
professional. Subsequent chapters provide an overview of
the neurologic, neuropsychological and psychological forensic
assessment process specific to brain injury cases. The final
portion of the book focuses on the forensic examiner as
expert witness.
The Forensic
Evaluation of Traumatic Brain Injury:
·
Provides
an overview of the legal issues and assessment process in
TBI cases
·
Includes
definitions and medical diagnostic terminology for forensic

involved in TBI cases
"One
of the few works that exist on this subject…Fills
an important void."
