This updated edition of The Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology is a vital resource for professionals in neuropsychology, offering practical insights into assessment and treatment.
The field of clinical neuropsychology has evolved significantly over the past few decades, becoming a vital part of clinical psychology, neurology, and psychiatry. The Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology has been substantially updated to reflect these changes, providing a comprehensive resource for professionals interested in applying neuropsychological techniques in clinical settings. This new edition serves as a practical guide, highlighting the importance of neuropsychological assessments in diagnosing and treating various brain disorders.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, The Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology illustrates the value of neuropsychological approaches in both assessment and treatment. It addresses unique considerations when working with different populations, including children and the elderly, making it a versatile tool for practitioners. The book is organized into ten sections, covering a wide range of topics such as methodological issues, developmental neuropsychology, and functional neuroanatomy, ensuring that readers gain a well-rounded understanding of the discipline.
In addition to its focus on contemporary neuroscientific techniques, the handbook delves into functional imaging, cognitive psychology, and cognitive rehabilitation. It also provides essential background on laboratory techniques and relevant areas of neurology and psychiatry. This makes The Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology an indispensable resource for trainee neuropsychologists, educators in the cognitive sciences, and professionals in related fields.
Review from previous edition Review from previous edition This textbook provides an ambitious yet successful summary of current knowledge about the clinical neuropsychology of the major neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Remarkably, and marking its distinctiveness from other clinical neuropsychology texts, it goes beyond description to incorporate techniques for ameliorating and managing the functional impact of the disorders. This melding of theoretical and practical knowledge in neurology, neuropsychology, and neurorehabilitation will make it an essential text for the practising clinician. * Professor Catherine Mateer, Department of Psychology, University of Victoria, BC, Canada *
Clinical neuropsychologists of all persuasions will find much of practical value and also much to fascinate them in this monumental volume. No other book on clinical neuropsychology comes close in scope or in depth. It will in particular be of inestimable value as a textbook for professional training courses in clinical neuropsychology * Professor Max Coltheart, Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia *
