“Powerfully written… Head Cases sounds an alarm bell for our health care system, reminding us how difficult it is for people with such injuries to get adequate treatment. But it reveals, too, how in many cases, given time and the right sort of expert therapy, the brain is capable of remarkable recovery and adaptation.”
