Brain injury is significant and complex and far reaching, often misunderstood and underserved. Dr. Zender has expertly illuminated what is a mysterious condition to most people. His efforts to help people understand the condition and a path to healing should be commended. He explains how brain injury victims have a fear of being crazy, they suffer from depression, and that pain is a powerful, interruptive force. He encourages the importance of empathy and emphasizes the power of group therapy and the benefits of meditation. His book is an excellent resource to help these victims and their families.--John Gwynne Prosser II, president, NeuroTrauma Association, and coauthor of ACCIDENT: Michigan's Insurance Model for America Dr. Zender's book is a must read for anyone unfortunate enough to be injured in an auto accident. Accident victims are often underserved by medical providers and they often receive fragmented care and too little attention to their emotional and cognitive injuries.
