Summary:

For mental health practitioners in both civilian and military contexts, graduate students, and trainees, Vasterling (psychiatry, Boston U.) et al. compile 14 chapters that describe how to care for patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury. Focusing on how best to recognize this comorbidity and its associated clinical problems, how to structure interventions, and which factors need to be considered from the perspective of health care delivery systems, psychologists, psychiatrists, and brain injury specialists from the US, Australia, and UK address the biological and psychosocial mechanisms underlying both disorders and ways they may affect each other. They also discuss their clinical presentation, potential courses, and indications; commonly associated problems such as chronic pain and substance abuse; separate and combined assessment and treatment practices; implications for service delivery in the military; and estimating the costs of care and the allocation of clinical resources.
