Reviews

For those of us who rehabilitate people with brain injuries, I consider this book a landmark event. It is probably one of the most important teaching tools for any member of the rehabilitation team. This book should be read by all who deal with these patients/clients; there is new knowledge to be found in this text even for the most sophisticated among us. * Henry H. Stonnington, Brain Injury, 1993, Vol. 7, No. 1 * The scope is extremely wide ranging ... The reviews have been written by some of the leading authorities in various fields and and enormous body of literature has been covered succinctly, in a very readblae form. The chapters are clearly laid out and each follows a similar format covering anatomical issues, a review of the literature for the particular form of anosognosia and a discussion of the theoretical issues raised. * Dr Nigel North, Odstock Hospital, Salisbury, International Journal of Rehabilitation Research 15 (1992) * ...interesting book...Any neurologist who is closely involved in the continuing management of patients who have suffered a stroke or head injury should read this book. It will stimulate thought about the experience of our patients and will thereby help us understand their bizarre experiences. * Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry *
