Assessment In Neuropsychology

This is a practical and comprehensive handbook for neuropsychologists and other professionals who use neuropsychological tests in their everyday work. Each chapter outlines assessment procedures for specific functions such as language visual impairment and memory. Case studies are used to illustrate their applications, pointing the professional towards the most relevant assessments for their clients' needs, and where and how they can be acquired. The authors also explore new developments in neurological and neuropsychological assessment and clarify legal issues. The text should be a useful sourcebook for clinical psychologists, neurologists and other professionals as well as those in training.
