Vocational rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury: what is the evidence for clinical practice? (2014)
Journal Article
Phillips, J., & Radford, K. A. (2014). Vocational rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury: what is the evidence for clinical practice?. Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation, 14(5),

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically affects young adults with potentially many years of working life ahead of them. For people who were in work prior to their injury, return to work (RTW) is a common goal. However, a systematic review of RTW rat...
