Reviews for Psychotherapy after Brain Injury: Principles and Techniques
"Klonoff is a talented therapist who combines a wealth of experience and expertise with a deep personal commitment to the process of assisting individuals and families in the challenging process of adjustment following brain injury. This extraordinary volume guides the reader through assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, illustrating the course of therapy with many practical examples. It is essential reading for professionals working in brain injury rehabilitation or with clients who have experienced a brain injury, and an invaluable resource for students and trainees in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation medicine, neuropsychiatry, and social work."
Linda Clare, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology, Bangor University, United Kingdom "Klonoff provides a window into the unique world of brain injury, where psychology and biology intertwine. What is remarkable about this book is its level of detail. It delineates step by step the goals, tasks, and challenges of each stage of recovery, and features forms, checklists, and lists of adjunctive resources. Excellent case material illustrating both successful and unsuccessful treatment brings the work alive. A welcome resource for treating clients who have experienced any type of brain injury."
Robert Taibbi, LCSW, private practice, Charlottesville, Virginia "An impressive accomplishment. The author is a sure-footed, experienced clinician who shows how to guide clients in their arduous climb toward optimal rehabilitation outcomes. She addresses the client's need to regain functional competence and a feeling of 'belonging,' reconstitute a sense of self, accept limitations posed by the brain injury, and find meaning in postrehabilitation attainments. Many suggestions for facilitating essential compensatory processes are included. This book should become part of the reference library of both novice and seasoned practitioners in the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation."
