Part of a series aimed at therapists concerned with rehabilitation in a very broad sense, this book is based upon the author's experiences as part of a team caring for victims of severe injuries of the brain paying particular attention to the disturbances of behaviour. The methods of pioneers in this field were based on recognizing that it is as necessary to stimulate an injured brain in order to help it to recover as it is to stimulate a normal brain to enable it to develop - a process that is referred to as "exercising the mental muscles". In this guide the author explains that therapists need to start treating patients while they are still receiving intensive care, and nurses in these units, as well as those in ordinary wards, need to know how closely their work should be intergrated with that of others. Although the book will be of particular interest to occupational and physical therapists, psychologists and a social workers it will also be of use to doctors as clear evidence of the range and duration of methods of treatment required and of the fact that they have a part to play long after the patients leave hospital.
