| Summary |
[This volume provides] expertise in a broad range of areas and populations [in neuropsychology for clinical practice]. The chapter authors focus on over a dozen of the most common neuropsychological disorders in adults and children in ways that are most pertinent to assessment and treatment in clinical settings. /// In each chapter, leading practitioners describe what causes a disorder, how it is manifested in symptoms and limitations in everyday functioning, its psychological effects for patients, and the best ways to understand and assess patients for optimal treatment planning. In addition to identifying and explaining assessment batteries for each disorder, the authors present checklists, charts, interview protocols, and modifications to treatment protocol to help clinicians apply neuropsychological knowledge in the most practical way. Guidance is also provided for aiding family members of patients in dealing with disorders and caregiving options. /// [This volume is a] resource for clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, family counselors, or advanced students in any of these areas, as well as a helpful guide to counselors and attorneys in need of background knowledge in neuropsychology.
