"Barbara Wilson has brought together in one volume a careful selection of exceptional studies that she and her collaborators have contributed to contemporary neuropsychological rehabilitation, particularly of everyday memory disabilities. These seminal studies coupled clinical experience and modern psychological theory on the nature of memory with the actual everyday needs of people with impairments in memory, resulting in innovative and effective interventions and inspired assessment tools." - Chris Code, University of Exeter, UK"Barbara Wilson's research and clinical work has inspired generations of Psychologists, Allied Health Professionals, rehabilitation clients and participants in research. Her work has undoubtedly led to the alleviation of suffering and disability directly for those she has worked with, and indirectly, all around the world. She has become a world renown Psychologist for her tireless efforts to solve practical neuropsychological problems, and she has disseminated her views through publication, lectures and workshops everywhere. She has continued an astonishing work rate into her retirement. The consequences of her work has included the founding of rehabilitation services in the UK and internationally (for example there is a rehab unit named after her in Equador), as well as individually changing the behaviour and work practices of clinicians who have met her or read her work. This volume contains a reflective introduction that provides a great autobiographical summary of her scholarly work. In recent times Universities have grappled with the concept of translational research. Her impact and body of work illustrate that she has been translating research to patient benefit right from the start of her career, with a compelling ethic of compassion driving the work. For all these reasons this volume truly deserves its place in the World Library Series." - Andrew Bateman, Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, UK
