Summary
  • "This updated and greatly expanded second edition of the Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, like the first, focuses on the clinical practice of neuropsychology. Orienting readers to the entire multitude of issues, it guides them step by step through evaluation and helps them avoid common misconceptions, mistakes, and methodological pitfalls.
  • It is divided into three sections: fundamental elements of the assessment process; special issues, settings, and populations; and new approaches and methodologies. The authors, all of whom are actively engaged in the clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment, as well as teaching and research, integrate the academic and the practical."--BOOK JACKET.
  • "The Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, Second Edition will be welcomed as a text for graduate courses, but also as a hands-on handbook for interns, postdoctoral fellows, and experienced neuropsychologists alike."--BOOK JACKET.
