"Excellent text, well written and well organized. Contains much practical information for students, fellows and practitioners."--Keith Yeates, Director of Pediatric Neuropsychology, Ohio State University Children's Hospital"Persons who work in pediatric settings will find the book to be a compendium of useful information and helpful clinical advice. The efforts of the authors to define basic neurobiological and neuropsychological concepts and to outline disease classifications and correlates will be of special benefit to persons who seek advanced training and professional certification in clinical neuropsychoogy. Because so many of the key concepts and disorders encountered bypractitioners are reviewed in the book, it is an especially valuable resource for post-doctoral fellows. Although the book is not an introductory text in child neuropsychology, it would also be useful inteaching at the graduate or even undergraduate level, particularly as a supplement to courses in this area, and as a reference to practicum students....The most important contribution of this book is the emphasis it places on the biological as well as behavioral foundations of this emerging new field."--H. Gerry Taylor, Ph.D., in JINS"The authors have taken a scholarly approach in their review of the studies pertaining to each medical condition.
