Brain Injury, Trauma and Loss tells the story of the

impact of Covid- 19 on neurorehabilitation.

It offers a unique dual perspective as it intertwines the

two voices of Sue Williams, who had sustained a traumatic

brain injury in 2018, and Rudi Coetzer, her neuropsychologist

during the pandemic. Based on detailed

diary extracts, therapeutic notes and updates (edited to

preserve confidentiality), this book provides a unique

insight into the practical and psychological effects of

Covid- 19 on brain injury and rehabilitation, ranging

from the impact on delivering clinical rehabilitation sessions

and self- directed approaches, to the effect on daily

living, social isolation, and online integration. The final

section on 'reflections' contributes to the current wider

knowledge on how to improve practice in brain injury

rehabilitation for patients, families and clinicians. The

detailed account of changes in service delivery provides

a window into what kind of adaptations can be made

in clinical practices, highlighting the need to question

existing practices and look for creative methods in

delivering rehabilitation services.

This is valuable reading for clinical neuropsychologists

who experienced changes in their work both during

and since the pandemic, as well as speech therapists,

occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and brain

injury survivors, their families, and friends.
