This book, based on over two decades of research conducted by Robinson and colleagues, is primarily about poststroke emotional sequelae. Major topics include depression, mania, and anxiety, each organized by chapter headings and similar chapter subheadings. Robinson defines each emotional problem, explains how it is diagnosed, compares it to brain–behavior relationships, and recommends treatment, all the while weaving an empirical foundation that matches interpretations and ideas with results. The fabric of this foundation consists mainly of Robinson's collective research. Case histories sprinkled throughout capture the essence of his remarks, bringing them to life for the reader. Contributions of his predecessors are reported as an historical base. As a result, Robinson brings under one cover the wealth of knowledge and information we currently have on the subject of emotional disorders following vascular brain injury.
