This thoroughly updated and extended edition covers the various
cerebral visual disorders acquired after brain injury, as well as
the rehabilitation techniques used to treat them. These are
described within a brain plasticity framework, using data from
single and group case studies along with follow up observation
data. This original, tailor-made approach also includes the
recording of eye movements for assessing scanning performance in
scene perception and reading.
The book gives a brief synopsis of the historical background on
the subject, alongside an outline of intervention designs and
methodological difficulties in the field, and goes on to discuss
the mechanisms and processes that provide the foundations for
recovery of function and successful adaptation in visually impaired
patients. The author concludes by analyzing the importance of the
procedures and outcomes of treatments to the reduction of patients
visual handicaps.
The new edition also contains an appendix with recommendations
on the case histories, diagnostics and treatments. It is ideal
reading for students in clinical neuropsychology, as well as
professionals in the fields of neurology, visual neuroscience and
rehabilitation experts.
