The Encyclopedia of Clinical Neuropsychology is the first and only
encyclopedia covering assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of
adult and pediatric neuropsychological disorders. The new and
revised 2nd edition includes 100 new entries and extensive updates
and revisions. Clinical neuropsychology is a rapidly evolving
specialty whose practitioners serve patients with traumatic brain
injury, stroke and other vascular impairments, brain tumors,
epilepsy and nonepileptic seizure disorders, developmental
disabilities, progressive neurological disorders, HIV- and
AIDS-related disorders, and dementia. Services include evaluation,
treatment, and case consultation in child, adult, and the expanding
geriatric population in medical and community settings. The
clinical goal always is to restore and maximize cognitive and
psychological functioning in an injured or compromised brain. Most
neuropsychology reference books focus primarily on assessment and
diagnosis, and to date none has been encyclopedic in format.
Clinicians, patients, and family members recognize that evaluation
and diagnosis is only a starting point for the treatment and
recovery process. During the past decade there has been a
proliferation of programs, both hospital- and clinic-based, that
provide rehabilitation, treatment, and treatment planning services.
This encyclopedia will serve as a unified, comprehensive reference
for professionals involved in the diagnosis, evaluation, and
rehabilitation of adult patients and children with
neuropsychological disorders. From the reviews of the first
edition: "This a A to Z approach to defining clinical psych and
clinical neuropsychology terms. ... recommend this as a reference
for Clinical Neuropsychologists." Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com,
February, 2014 "An indispensable four-volume reference series,
which both established and up-and-coming neuropsychologists will
find to be an invaluable addition to their clinical practice.
Clinicians across a broad range of settings ... will find it to be
a comprehensive reference guide. ... Each entry provides
cross-references to related topic areas within the series, as well
as additional readings, for the interested reader to use as a
springboard to expand their understanding of each topic area."
Sarah E. Bullard, Melina Griss, Sonia Greene and Anna Gekker,
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, November, 2012 "This book is
the most comprehensive text ever published in the field of clinical
neuropsychology. ... If I had to select only one book to have on my
desk, in my office, this would be the one." Amazon.com, December,
2010
