Abstract

This article reviews the current literature surrounding the emotional and behavioral consequences as a result of traumatic brain injury (TBI) for children and adolescents. The use of a treatment planning model incorporating developmental theory, recovery, and family needs is advocated. The article reviews the current literature for treatment of primary emotional and psychiatric problems associated with TBI. Additional research into the treatment and intervention of psychiatric, emotional, and behavioral problems in children with TBI remains necessary.
