Agnosia and Apraxia cover

First Published in 1988. The reader is invited to explore this collection of early German papers and not to analyze the work through a comparison with the present but to approach it with a relaxation of bias that extends a new hearing to old ideas. The reader may be surprised to see how little has changed in the association or callosal theory of apraxia since this review by Liepmann. Of interest is the care with which Liepmann studied his patients and the ingenious anatomical accounts.

"...highly recommended to all those with a cultural interest in neurology who want to have their clinical horizons widened and desire to learn more about the contributions made by three pioneers to the foundation of the house of neurology in which so many of us now reside."
—Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

"Anyone in the field of neuropsychology interested in the problems of agnosia, apraxia, or both should read the papers collected and translated in this book."
—Contemporary Psychology

"...achieves its intended goal to provide the clinician with a rich history of the case work of the pioneers in the fields of apraxia and agnosia....most appropriate for professionals with a knowledge of the current literature on apraxia and agnosia; the richness of the case studies would be of value to graduate students as well."
—Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
