I liked the fact that this was written about the impact of parental TBI on the child. I work with children. I was very interested in this topic having seen children from families that have been involved in accidents where parents and even their siblings have sustained head injuries.

So many times the children are let out of the picture. Teachers notice problems at school and the stressed parents are barely coping trying to meet the needs of their injured spouce. I'm grateful to the presenter for acknowleging this neglect. Treating the whole family is so important. The bibliography and web pages is wonderful. Thank you. I'm a fan!
