Reviews

Vasterling, Bryant, and Keane have assembled an outstanding group of experts to provide a conceptual, scientific, and clinical overview of this daunting challenge. Co-occurring PTSD and mTBI unfortunately has emerged as a common problem for many service members and veterans in recent years. Since PTSD and mTBI affect one another, it is imperative that clinicians treat them concurrently, and do so within a multidisciplinary context. This book provides a thoughtful, comprehensive review of what we know, what we don't know, and what we need to do to fill in the blanks. It should be mandatory reading for anyone in the field. - Matthew J. Friedman, Dartmouth Medical School, New Hampshire, USA Clinicians and scientists alike are certain to welcome this volume, which meets a real need in presenting a comprehensive review of the basic and clinical science of PTSD and mTBI. The biopsychosocial conceptual framework provides a perfect translational bridge to evidence-based clinical management. The book will rapidly become the reference of choice for clinicians facing the complexities of these two conditions and for students in the neurosciences. - Michael McCrea, Medical College of Wisconsin, USA The association between PTSD and mTBI is a vexing problem. This volume provides much-needed clarification and direction for clinicians and researchers alike. It brings together leading authorities who provide critical insights, making it an invaluable resource. The book has particular relevance for those treating service members and veterans. - Alexander C. McFarlane, University of Adelaide, Australia This one-of-a-kind book from prominent international experts provides a scholarly and practical synthesis of the complex interaction between PTSD and mTBI. Clearly written chapters provide state-of-the-art information and clinical guidance on assessment and management in both civilian and military settings. Practitioners, researchers, educators, and trainees (students and residents) in the fields of mental health, neurology, and rehabilitation medicine all will benefit greatly from reading this book and having it as an essential reference on their bookshelves. - Jesse R. Fann, University of Washington, USA Will it serve as a useful resource for clinicians who encounter patients with PTSD and co-morbid MTB-PTSD? Yes. I came away learning a few important bits of information, which I anticipate will impact both my clinical and forensic practice. For that reason alone, I benefitted from reading this text. I expect examinees and referrals sources will also benefit from my having acquired this additional knowledge. In that respect, reading this book was 'win-win' (with no downside) for all concerned. - Robert L. Heilbronner, The Clinical Neuropsychologist, Vol. 26, No. 4, April 2012
