  “Incredibly important…. a must-read for people who care about brain injury. Lorenz provides a genuinely fresh way of allowing survivors to provide their own perspectives on life-change experience. This innovative and touching book will change the way we think about—and respond to—the experience of brain injury survivors. –Prof. Mark Sherry, University of Toledo

Students and practitioners of rehabilitation therapies, medicine, social science, and social policy will find this refreshing book to be informative and useful. Brain injury survivors and their families will recognize their own experiences and find hope. Clinicians will discover a new approach to improving their care for persons with hidden disabilities.

Although millions of people are affected each year by brain injuries, what it is like to live with these injuries is often misunderstood. Laura Lorenz delves into the experience of acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors to reveal how they make sense of their changed circumstances - and how social policies and medical expectations can enhance, or detract from, their quality of life. As she traces individual journeys on the road from diagnosis through rehabilitation, Lorenz evokes the reality of living with ABI. She also tackles the systemic problems undercutting the quality of current medical and social support. Moving beyond ABI, her work encourages a fresh approach to the patient-provider relationship for people with a wide range of disabilities.

 

Brain Injury X-Posed
 

An astonishing story: What does it feel like to live with a brain injury? What are the issues and concerns of survivors? How do they cope? Where do they find comfort, support, and hope? Brain Injury X-Posed: The Survivor’s View is a photographic exhibit created by Laura, Barbara Webster, and eight members of the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts Framingham support group. 'Taking photos and talking about them helped to peel away the layers of issues and emotions like the layers of an onion,' says Barbara Webster, co-facilitator of the project, who also sustained a TBI.  Read more about this incredible project here on the Projects Current and Past Page and more at Brainline.org Brain Injury X-Posed: The Survivor's View.
