%0 Journal Article %T Impact of traumatic brain damage on family dynamics and functioning: a review %J Brain injury %D 1989 %A Florian, V. %A Katz, S. %A Lahav, V. %V 3 %N 3 %P 219-233 %X The purpose of this paper is to review the dynamics and functioning of families with a severely head-injured member. In order to stress the unique problems faced by persons with brain damage and their families, a comparison with spinal cord-injured persons is presented. The review's major conclusion is that a head injury exposes the family to a complex of problems that are unique to this disability and, therefore, necessitates the delivery of special family support services focused on the family, rather than on the head-injured person.
