Psychosocial sequelae of head injury--anatomy of a relationship
RJ McClelland
Queen's University of Belfast, Department of Mental Health, Northern Ireland.
The nature and extent of psychological and social disability following head
injury remain issues of considerable practical and theoretical interest.
Practical because of the size of the problem and the resulting burden of
care; theoretical because head injury should provide a powerful model for
an improved understanding of the relationships between cerebral disorder
and psychological impairment.
