"Kent provides a careful and comprehensive history of the development of the Wechsler Memory Scale. The clinical sections regarding memory difficulties associated with various forms of neuropsychopathology and the discussion of the clinical interpretation of the scale are unique and very valuable. There is a real need for this book." - Arthur MacNeill Horton Jr, Chief, Neuropsychology Section, Psych Associates of Maryland, Towson, Maryland, USA.
