Excerpt
Comprehensive neuropsychiatric assessment is a prerequisite to the treatment of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, sensorimotor, and functional problems experienced by individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). A neuropsychiatric approach to the assessment of such problems—which are referred to collectively here as the neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI—is an inherently transdisciplinary one, meaning that the perspectives on which it is predicated and the methods that it applies may be used by any clinician working with patients with TBI regardless of professional discipline or training background. This approach emphasizes comprehensive consideration of preinjury, injury-related, and postinjury factors that contribute to the development of the neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI and that influence vulnerability to and recovery from them (Arciniegas 2013) (Figure 4–1).
