introductory material and background information on various

This volume disseminates knowledge about the most advanced
practices and techniques in the rehabilitation of
neuropsychological deficits, covering both specific
neuropsychological domains and approaches in neurorehabilitation.
It adheres to the philosophy that it is not enough to identify a
deficit or diagnose a disease unless doing so helps to direct
rehabilitation efforts to improve function. Intended to advance
clinical skills, the book goes beyond surface diagnostic practice
to foster rehabilitative efforts in response to residual deficits
and disease.
The volume begins by addressing the foundations of
neuropsychology in rehabilitation and discussing, in depth,
domain-specific rehabilitation practices, with a focus on
functioning. This is followed by a discussion of supplemental
applications and practices that go beyond function-specific
methodology including neuroimaging and pharmacological agents. Also
covered is the role of system/environmental manipulation and
transitioning strategies. The final section attends to those
presentations/groupings most commonly seen in rehabilitation
practice for which there is no prototypical form. Key Features:
Presents in depth the most advanced clinical applications for
neuropsychological rehabilitation Covers neuropsychological
rehabilitation in terms of specific cognitive domains (attention,
language, memory) and approaches to and practices in
neurorehabilitation (neuroimaging, vocational rehabilitation,
pharmacological rehabilitation) Written by the foremost scholars in
the field
