Autorenporträt
Patricia M. Davies has drawn, in writing this book, on her long years of experience and unique opportunities for exchanging knowledge with international experts in the field. The book is essentially a practical guide. The author refrains from discussing at length the different hypotheses related to prognosis and recovery of function. Instead, she concentrates on what can actually be DONE to help the patient during routine nursing procedures as well as in special therapy sessions.
