Abstract
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.
