Acquired Brain Injury: A Guide for Families and Survivors

by Kevin Foy

Acquired brain injury is very common and very misunderstood by the general public and professionals alike. It has life changing and frequently devastating effects on the individual's physical, cognitive, behavioural, and emotional well-being. In addition, it causes huge challenges and stresses for family and friends.

Acquired Brain Injury: A Guide for Families and Survivors accessibly discusses acquired brain injuries in detail for those individuals and families affected.

Written by experienced neuropsychiatrist Dr Kevin Foy, the book seamlessly guides the reader through the different types of brain injury, and their effects, as well as the various stages of recovery. Offering facts and advice from the initial trauma all the way through to long-term care, Dr Foy provides the tools to help deal with the challenges that may lie ahead.

I’ve chosen to read this book due to it being very relevant for my upcoming PhD.

It has very poignant topics and explores aspects of ABI that I hadn’t thought of, also provides me with effective explanations for patients.
