Book excerpt: This book explores the complex architecture and healing ecology involved in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries. This book also includes explorations of other maladies of the brain and mind (including strokes, brain infections, and serious mental illnesses, among others). Each chapter presents a different case study, using doctor-patient dialogues as a way of understanding both the injury and its treatment. This is a ground-breaking approach to understanding and healing insults and disruptions to the brain’s ability to function effectively. The book also emphasizes that injuries to the brain and mind are far more prevalent than has previously been recognized. It also places particular emphasis on the process of putting a person’s “sense of self” back together following these types of injuries – which is no easy task!
