Geriatric Neuropsychology

"Bush and Martin's new text succinctly captures the multiple vectors of change within the field and provides the practitioner with a comprehensive guide to both traditional neuropsychological applications with older patients and new opportunities. Neuropsychologists will find the text helpful in every aspect of practice including the selection of tests, understanding valid accommodations, and various disease and clinical conditions in the elderly. This text is a valuable resource for neuropsychologists treating geriatric patients." -- Robert G. Frank, PhD, University of Florida
"This carefully edited book provides the clinician and researcher with a balanced and comprehensive perspective of neuropsychology for the elderly. Respected experts have consistently bridged the scientific findings of their specialty with clinical applications. The book will serve as a useful resource for guiding both clinicians and researchers to select specific neurocognitive and psychodiagnostic measures tailored to diagnosing the elderly. I strongly recommend this book to all clinicians, researchers and student in the field of gerontology. This is not only the most comprehensive resource book on the elderly, but since we all face a decline due to aging, I especially appreciated the tone throughout the book that honors the elderly for the richness of their experiences and wisdom.
