This 2nd Edition of the Little Black Book of Neuropsychology: A Syndrome-Based Approach offers a long overdue revision of this pinnacle text in clinical neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is a field that is critical to psychology, neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry and is expanding at an unparalleled rate. Considerable advancements continue to be made in neuropsychological assessment, with application to the understanding of diagnosing and managing trauma and illness affecting the central nervous system. Simultaneously, neuropsychological research has made remarkable progress in unraveling the cellular and systematic functions of the human nervous system. The interaction between neuropsychology and neuroscience is driving an emphasis on evidenced-based neuropsychology practice. This 2nd edition of The Little Black Book of Neuropsychology: A Syndrome-Based Approach provides students, clinicians, and researchers with updated information for this rapidly advancing field. The text updates the original in assessment, diagnosis, research and clinical practice critical to clinicians, educators and researchers in the area of Brain-Behavior relationships and disease.
