Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler, Ed.D., a health psychologist and professional speaker, sustained a stroke from a cerebral bleed and two traumatic brain injuries (an auto accident and brain surgery).

She, like millions of people, was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury, not because of the severity of her injury, but indicating the length of time she was unconscious following the injury (up to 60 minutes).The terms mild, moderate and severe when relating to brain injury do not indicate the severity of the injury or the eventual outcome. The terms mild, moderate and severe, when referring to brain injury, are based on alertness, amnesia and how long a person has been unconscious following injury. Her life was turned upside down because of the symptoms of her brain injury, which she had to live with on a daily basis.

Dr. Diane faced many new difficulties and challenges. No resources were available to provide adequate information or solutions to the issues she needed addressed. Dr. Diane realized that she could not be the only person to face this lack of information. Thus began her search for answers for herself and all others, world wide, with a brain injury.

From her own experience, training and extensive research, Dr. Stoler co-authored, with Barbara Albers Hill, a reference book on brain trauma; Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Guide to Living with the Challenges Associated with Concussion/Brain Injury. It is the first reference book that applies to all aspects of brain trauma, including concussion, stroke and brain tumor.

Her book, Coping With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, describes the most common physical, mental, and psychological symptoms of brain injury, explaining why each occurs and what can be done about it, as well as offering practical suggestions for coping with the problem. Also covered are financial, insurance, and family issues; the rehabilitation process; and eventual outcomes. An extensive resource section provides additional guidance and sources of support.

Reviews

"Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is one of the most comprehensive books on the subject of traumatic brain injury.... [It] provides guidance and inspiration for a new life after brain injury."

Allan I. Bergman, President and CEO, Brain Injury Association, 2001 
"Very few books about brain injury, if any, are as comprehensive and far-reaching as Dr. Diane Stoler's. Coping With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury answers many questions haunting survivors and family members. I strongly recommend this text as required reading for anyone affiliated with the brain injury community."

Testimonials from Readers"It was the first book that made sense when talking about the brain. I sometimes work with brain injury consumers, and your book is always recommended."
- Sue Schindler "Dear Dr. Diane,
I read your book, Coping with MTBI, this week. It has been a lifesaver. I am now buying multiple copies of the book to give to my close friends and family. This is so that my supporters and caretakers understand what my world is like since the fall and they can care for me in ways that are more helpful. It is challenging for people who love you and see you as strong, competent, and independent, to be needy, and to be more limited in normal functioning.
I make sure that every medical care provider I visit gets the name of this book and understands the importance of it. Your stories of other people who have MBTI have been reassuring to me to know that I am not alone, nor making the symptoms up.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this book. If you are speaking anytime in my area NY/NJ/CT metro area, please put me on your E-mail list."
- Amanda Pirot "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,"
- Sharon Whitacre "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."

- An Amazon reader from Austin, TX United States
