'… in this second edition of the already excellent text Cognitive Neurorehabilitation: Evidence and Application, interested readers have an invaluable resource for the empirical and theoretical bases of cognitive neurorehabilitation that will provide practitioners, researchers, and those in training with the foundations to know the difference between that which is based in science and what is wishful thinking. … this new edition should not be viewed simply as an update. Rather, it is a timely and much needed contribution to the literature.' Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
