1) Paperback Book The Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Workbook: Your Program for Regaining Cognitive Function & Overcoming Emotional Pain (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by New Harbinger Publications. i was in a car accident and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury. i found this book extremely helpful and informative. the key thing to remember is that a brain injury is very different for each person. so some parts of the book probably wont apply to your situation. but i think this book does a good job of covering the overall symptoms of brain injuries. the book also gives you exercises to do throughout it which breaks up the reading and makes it more interesting.¤

2) Paperback Book The Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Workbook: Your Program for Regaining Cognitive Function & Overcoming Emotional Pain (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by New Harbinger Publications. The MTBI Workbook establishes an initial overview of symptom identification, brain organization, and early rehab steps and for this it is a good initial contact for a patient having experienced MTBI. However, it lacks more training tools for the client when an addendum could provide for more enriched training containing tools, exercises, and the like. Also, it lists a number of occupations and professionals involved in a rehab process without mentioning social workers in the provision of care. As a licensed clinical social worker with a moderate MTBI case load I can only ponder the reason for this grevious omission by the author. I wish I could give this a better review, but find no cause to do so. Again, a good beginning, but not a total solution.¤

This is a well written, well organized reference for anyone interested in a quick overview or a working understanding of MBTI. The exercises are a great resource for patients and an aid to help family members grasp the day-to-day challenges of people with MBTI.¤

5) Paperback Book The Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Workbook: Your Program for Regaining Cognitive Function & Overcoming Emotional Pain (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by New Harbinger Publications. I spent a good deal of time using this book, but did not find it´s information or the results of the self tests all that helpful. This information was general observations about how brain injury affects thinking, planning, etc. The tests were word searches (and others) spread throughout the chapters and meant to help readers identify cognitive areas that needed attention, e.g. strength and weakness areas in thinking and emotions. I enjoyed taking the tests, but now doubt their validity.

The assumptions for the utility of these tests were very specious, in my opinion. For example, left brain dysfunction was said to be identifiable by how long it took you to do a letters word search puzzle, and right brain dysfunction was said to be greater if it took a long time to do the numbers search puzzles. I am not sure if this correlation can be made scientifically or what to do about it if it is generalizable.

My main problems with brain injury have less to do with these distinctions than in finding ways to function without so much turmoil, confusion and lost time. These problems were not fully addressed in this guide, so I found it on the whole disappointing.

6) Paperback Book The Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Workbook: Your Program for Regaining Cognitive Function & Overcoming Emotional Pain (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by New Harbinger Publications. It happens in an instant—squealing breaks, a ladder that gives way, a pool cue swung in a moment of rage—but the affects of a blunt-force trauma to the head can last a lifetime. One of the more common injuries that can affect cognitive function, mild traumatic brain injury, or MTBI, affects more that half a million Americans each year, and research suggests that as many as 6.5 million Americans are living with the effects of MTBI. For the first time ever, this book assembles facts about MTBI together with a research-based program that readers can use to overcome the disadvantages of traumatic brain injury.

The book addresses the emotional issues that often accompany MTBI, especially anxiety and depression. Readers learn basic self-help strategies to counteract problems that may be caused by the injury. The later chapters discuss the four major domains of cognitive function and ways in which individuals can challenge their limitations and repair specific brain functions. The book concludes with an exploration of the various potential long-term affects of MTBI and the outside resources available to assist readers.¤
