A REMARKABLE STORY OF OVERCOMING BRAIN TRAUMA
After 8 years of suffering caused by concussion, Dr. Clark Elliott's brain was repaired with cutting-edge science. This is the story of how he overcame his trauma, offering hope to millions of concussion victims.
In 1999, Dr. Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day.
In one final effort to resume a normal life, Elliott crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research clinicians - one an optometrist using neurodevelopmental techniques, the other a cognitive restructuring psychologist. Within weeks, the ghost of who he had been returned.
THE GHOST IN MY BRAIN offers a rare view into the cognitive and physical problems associated with brain trauma - and the delicate connection between mind and body. It is also an unforgettable record of recovery, one that offers new hope to those suffering from concussions and other brain traumas.
