Clinical Neuropsychology

by Kenneth M. Heilman (Editor)

In its first edition, this book established itself as the best available source for clinical descriptions of neurobehavioural disorders. For the second edition, many chapters have been revised and greatly expanded to take into account the enormous growth in the literature on brain-behaviour
relationships in recent years. The text describes all the major neurobehavioural disorders of adults - aphasia, reading and writing disorders, agnosia, body schema disturbances, apraxia, amnesic disorders, dementia, and others - and their pathogenesis. Methods of diagnosis and treatment are also
discussed.

[Shelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

A comprehensive, valuable resource for clinicians that goes into explicit detail about various neurological/neuropsychological syndromes, sometimes to more detail than you really want to know. The number of case studies presented throughout the chapters can also make it a challenge to parcel out the general knowledge you may be looking for.
