The administration of psychological care to persons with brain disorders requires a series of skills that integrate the knowledge of clinical neuropsychology with developmental psychology, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and the study of the humanities. In Clinical Neuropsychology and the Psychological Care of Persons with Brain Disorders, Dr. Prigatano describes his approach to this complex topic. He reviews some of the defining characteristics of human nature, and blends that discussion with an understanding of how the brain normally develops and declines with age. The psychological struggles of people at each stage of development are further described as different brain disorders occur at different times in development.

Dr. Prigatano is presently the Emeritus Chairman of Clinical Neuropsychology and Newsome Chair of Neuropsychology at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. He is an internationally recognized expert in neuropsychological rehabilitation and the study of anosognosia. His most recent professional work focuses both on the neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy of children and adults with various brain disorders. He is an honorary member of several international organizations and in 1998 served as the President of the National Academy of Neuropsychology within the United States.

This is an excellent book. It is original, unique, and provides a superb integration of many different sources of information to provide a rich tapestry of clinical insights. George Prigatano's vast professional experience, knowledge, wisdom, and humaneness shines through in this extraordinary book. The book is a comprehensive, well-integrated resource, but individual chapters can also be read in isolation, without having to read the whole book for these to make sense. This is very valuable for readers who are experienced practitioners within the field, but equally also to those who may be less experienced, or who are primarily interested in specific topics covered in the book."
