| Summary |
"Since the first edition of After the Crash: Assessment and Treatment of Motor Vehicle Accident Survivors in 1997, there has been a monumental new wave of research in the assessment and treatment of MVA survivors. In this timely second edition, written in a clear and lucid style and illustrated by a wealth of charts, guides, case studies, and clinical advice, the authors report on new, international research and provide updates on their own long-standing research protocols within the groundbreaking Albany MVA Project. This volume will appeal to a broad audience of practitioners, researchers, and physicians; attorneys who handle MVA survivor cases; and those interested in public safety issues."--Jacket. |
