James Japp is a chartered occupational psychologist specialising in clinical neuropsychology and a medico legal expert on the assessment of brain injured clients. For many years he has been at the forefront of developing vocational rehabilitation programmes for the early intervention and return to work for individuals with an acquired brain injury.

Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Neurological impairment: the broader picture. 3. Acquired brain (head) injury. 4. Brain injury problems. 5. Vocational assessment. 6. Vocational rehabilitation. 7. Enhancing brain functioning. 8. Occupational techniques. 9. Workplace reintegration. 10. Case Studies. Postscript. Reducing Risk. Common terms associated with brain injury. Bibliography. Further reading. Index.
Although written for practitioners working with people with brain injury, this book provides excellent reading for a wider readership. For the specialist and non-specialist professional, and service user alike, this book offers a concise, lucid and accessible account of the nature of brain injury and the challenges to consider when planning a return to employment… I would have no hesitation in suggesting that those new to this area should read the first three chapters of this book: Neurological Impairment; The Broader Picture, Acquired Brain (Head) Injury; and Brain Injury Problems.' The remaining chapters, including very informative studies, provide a comprehensive and very useful checklist for practitioners involved with brain injury and rehabilitation. Overall a superb book with a bonus added at the end GÇô the glossary of terms which give sound and comprehensible definitions.
