This full-length translation of Professor Luria's book introduces
to the English speaking world a major document in neuropsychology,
summarizing Professor Luria's earlier contributions to that area
for nearly a third of a century. It is a monumental contribution.
Nothing of this scope exists in the Western literature of this
field, with the possible exception of Ajuriaguerra and Hecaen's
book (in French) on the cerebral cortex. Professor Luria's book
thus marks a further and decisive step toward the eventual
coalescence of neurology and psychology, a goal to which only a few
laboratories in the East and West have been devoted over the last
decades. The book is unique in its organization. The first half
deals with observations and interpretations concerning the major
syndromes of man's left cerebral hemisphere: those grievous
distortions of higher functions traditionally described as aphasia,
agnosia, and apraxia. There is also a detailed and brilliant
analysis of the syndrome of massive frontal-lobe involvement. The
entire second half of the book is given over to a painstaking
description of Professor Luria's tests, many of them introduced by
himself, and set out in such detail that anyone could repeat them
and thus verify Professor Luria's interpretations."
