Päivitetyssä teoksessa käytettyjä termejä ja sisältöä on ajanmukaistettu ja suomenkielistä ilmaisua sujuvoitettu. Kirjan taittoa on muokattu, jotta tietoarkkien valokopiointi kuntoutuskäyttöön sujuisi entistä paremmin. Suomenkielinen Aivotyökirja on laajin Suomessa julkaistu aikuisten aivovaurioiden neuropsykologisen kuntoutusmateriaalin kokoelma. ”Näytän liian terveeltä ollakseni vammautunut, mutta olen liian vammautunut ollakseni terve”. Tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että oiretiedostuksen puute on yksi suurimmista aivovaurion saaneiden kuntoutumisen, töihin palaamisen ja sopeutumisen esteistä. Kaikki kirjan harjoitukset tähtäävät oiretiedostuksen kehittämiseen - auttavat kuntoutujaa näkemään itsensä selvemmin ja tarkemmin sekä lisäämään hallinnan tunnetta ja itsevarmuutta. • Kuntouttajien ja kuntoutujien lähdekirja, josta voi kopioida tehtäviä ja harjoituksia terapeuttiseen käyttöön. • Kuntouttajille, jotka työskentelevät äkillisen aivovaurion (esim. aivoverenkiertohäiriö tai tapaturmainen aivovamma) saaneiden potilaiden kanssa, sekä yksilö- että ryhmäkuntoutukseen. • Itsenäiseen harjoitteluun, aivovaurion saanut voi itsenäisesti tai perheenjäsenten kanssa käydä läpi harjoituksia ja saada käytännönläheistä tietoa aivovauriosta. Osa I: 46 tietoarkkia: yleistä tietoa aivovaurioista Osa II: 73 tiedonkäsittelyharjoitusta Osa III: 75 sopeutumista tukevaa harjoitusta Harjoitukset tulee valita tarkoituksenmukaisesti ja yksilöllisten tarpeiden mukaan.
