Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler - Book Testimonials

"I love this book because its very informative and has helped me and my health care professionals go through the symptoms of ABI. I was able to refer this book to quite a few of my friends with ABIs. I liked how in the beginning of every chapter you have peoples experiences and I found that nice because when you have a brain injury sometimes you feel like youre the only person in the whole world going through it. When you know that others are dealing with your symptoms it helps decrease the stress or worry that you may have. I love the quotes from others with ABI all throughout the book. This book is like the Brain Injury Bible. I love this book and think Dr. Diane & Barbara Albers Hill did an amazing job on this book. I give it an A++ and so do all my friends that have her book. Big Hugs :)"

"For the person new to the subject, this sincere book is a wonderful tour of the important topics. It can help others be compassionate and understanding, and help the person with a traumatic brain injury cope and progress more effectively. From understanding the time that recovery takes, to the many upsetting symptoms that one may face, this book has answers, perspectives and suggestions that everyone should know, and that the injured and their family members sorely need to know."
—Robert A. Yourell "Psych Innovator" (Denver, CO, USA)
Great Understanding Of MTBI!!! "In July 2004 I was hit by a jet-ski, almost drowned, broke my back and neck, and was supposed to be paralyzed for the rest of my life. Luckily after a couple weeks I started walking and I was able to start school in September. But, after I started school I realized I couldn't do my work as well, I couldn't remember things, I couldn't pay attention, I had a short temper, many things that you probably have as well if you get this book. My counselor let me borrow it and it helped me understand MTBI so well!! I couldn't beleive...I finally had an understanding (and excuse) to why my life was a little harder. I had to buy the book for myself and I suggest you do too....it's wonderful."

"Dear Dr. Stoler, I just felt that I needed to send you a short note because I wanted to thank you for this book I have just read 'Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury'. This book has helped me accept what has happened and know that there is life after such an accident. I really believe that reading your book has brought me back to knowing that I am here for a reason and that I can do what ever I want as long as I accept the new me. Thank you again for being the best help to my recovery. Sincerely," "

"Great resource for family members, co-workers and friends of people who have experienced a mild brain injury. Also informative for health insurance based professionals who want a better understanding of what their clients are experiencing." "
—An Amazon reader from Los Angeles, CA
"This book was recommended to me by a referral clinic as one of two volumes that are helpful in explaining brain injury. Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is an excellent and informative book. It is very difficult to find a comprehensive explanation for the symptoms of TBI much less a solution for dealing with the problems. Before coping can begin, identifying the problems is necessary. This volume provided enlightenment and hope to me where years of seeking treatment have left a sense of doubting my own perceptions and reality and sense of self. Just to know "yes, this IS happening to me" has made a world of difference in the experience of recovering in what is often a lonely, frustrating and disappointing journey. This account by someone who has experienced brain and psychic trauma has a quality of truth that cannot be mistaken." "

"A must read, very insightful, helpful and comprehensive." "
—Reader from Maryland
Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler's book, "Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury," is simply a life-changing book. I found so many answers to deep and troubling issues during my own brain injury recovery and rehabilitation. The book became my brain injury "Bible" during the worst of times and, later, a reference book to refresh my memory on various topics as well as to confer on new ones. I applaud Dr. Stoler for her hard work and dedication in completing such a comprehensive guide for those walking in the trenches of mild traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. She is changing the lives of those dealing with mild traumatic brain injury in dramatic ways. Whether you have a mild TBI or if you love someone that does, you must read this book! It has become a permanent book in my collection. "

"Diane Stoler has written a remarkable book. People who work with survivors of traumatic brain injury know that nothing is quite so fragile, and at the same time, so strong as a human being. This can be a difficult concept, however, to put into words. Yet Dr. Stoler has done precisely this. Her description of the neurologic, emotional, and psychological sequelae of traumatic brain injury is encyclopedic, and will be instructive not only to survivors and their families, but also to every professional who works in this field. At the same time, something else emerges in this text through the sharing of many personal experiences, and that is the indomitable strength of the human spirit.""

"Dear Dr. Stoler, I can't tell you what your book has done for me. Because of the knowledge it gave me about TBI, I have been able to understand a lot about what happened to me from my accident, and that I'm not alone. It directed me to the TBI chatroom, and there, I have met so many new friends that are of like "minds", lol! The chatroom also made me realize that, there but by the grace of God, go I. Your book has not only been a help to me, it's been a help to my husband too. He was as much in the dark about TBI as I was. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot thank you enough."
—Sharon L. Smith
