Originally published in 1993, this book provides the clinician,
researcher and student with a comprehensive account of the
neuropsychology of the amnesic syndrome. The opening chapter places
the amnesic syndrome within the overall context of memory disorders
and provides a theoretical basis for understanding the presentation
of the clinical and experimental findings which form the major part
of the work. The second chapter provides an extensive account of
the various methods used to assess memory and associated deficits
and provides guidelines as to the most effective assessment
strategy. The next five chapters are concerned with the specific
aetiologies giving rise to the amnesic syndrome: Wernicke-Korsakoff
Syndrome; Thalamic Amnesia; Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia; Herpes
Simplex Encephalitis; and ruptured aneurysms of the anterior
communicating artery. Each of these chapters contains an account of
the associated neuropathology, descriptions of experimental
findings and illustrative case histories from the authors' own
experimental and clinical experience. The next chapter provides the
reader with an account of some of the more important scientific
issues that have arisen from the studies of the amnesic syndrome
and a final chapter considers current and future prospects for
behavioural remediation of severe memory deficit.
