Editor’s Note
March/April 2010 Tribute to Dr. Mitch Rosenthal
Mitch Rosenthal made many contributions to the field of brain injury rehabilitation, including founding the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, which he edited until his untimely death in 2007. The field, and the Journal, owe much to Mitch's vision and dedication.
It is fitting that in 2010, as we mark the 25th year of publication of the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, we also celebrate Mitch's legacy via a "Gedenkschrift for Mitchell Rosenthal". A "Gedenkschrift", which literally translates as "souvenir" or "memento" posthumously commemorates an individual's career via a collection of work reflecting his or her contributions.
Gedenkschrifts are not well known because they are reserved for unique individuals who have had very special careers. Thus it is fitting that in the 25th year of JHTR's publication we provide a souvenir of the work of Mitch Rosenthal. We hope that as you read the issue you will think about Mitch and recall the legacy of this remarkable individual.
