The editors have succeeded in providing a readable, organized and expert view of the issues surrounding some of the long-term-functional consequences of brain surgery in children. --Thomas G. Luerssen A clear presentation of what we currently do and do not know about head trauma...Thick with basic information, this book is essential reading for clinicians and perhaps for some parents who are struggling with the consequences of pediatric head injury....The book contains 16 chapters from some of the best research teams. --Elizabeth Bates, Contemporary Psychology This is an important book to define the present state of knowledge and stimulate those interested in this problem. Students, practitioners, and scientists should have this book on their shelves. --Doody's Journal Suceeds in taking a reflective step back from the lab bench to consider what has been learned and what needs to be done in order to improve future studies regarding the outcome of head injury in children. The book can be read in a relatively brief period of time, and the quality of writing and content of the discussions are uniformly high. I would recommend this work to the full range of readers, from senior researchers and clinicians to students who are making the transition from their classroom textbooks to the primary research literature concerning head injury. --Journal of Child Neuropsychology It informs the reader thoroughly about many of the major conceptual, clinical, and research issues facing the field. --Child Neuropsychology This text provides a thorough account of the current state of knowledge in pediatric head injury, emphasizing methodological problems and conceptual complexities existing in the field.... Each contributor has stressed the complexity of conducting quality pediatric head injury research and the problems associated with the heterogeneity of the population.... This text is long overdue and most welcome. --Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
