Behavioural abnormalities in head injured patients.
This paper reviews the psychological deficits found after head injury. The deficits are very broadly of two types involving cognitive and behaviour disturbances. The main features of the two types of disturbances are described; and the natural history, prediction, functional impact, and rehabilitation of the disturbances are reviewed. Key features of good clinical evaluation of patients are identified.
