Abstract
The occurrence of a traumatic brain injury to a child can create substantial disruption and stress within a family. The family's ability to survive the trauma intact and adapt to the injured child is crucial since they are often the key to the child's successful rehabilitation and reentry into society. This article examines the potential impact of the injury upon the family and the complex array of factors that appear to be related to effective family coping and adaptation.Keywords
