"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. This accessible and engaging text 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, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology, Bangor University, United Kingdom "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 post-rehabilitation attainments. Many suggestions for facilitating essential compensatory processes are included." - Yehuda Ben-Yishay, Director, Brain Injury Day Treatment Program, Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University, USA
