This book has been specially designed to give practical help to
those who have to deal with diagnosis and subsequent management of
patients with memory dicturbance resulting from specific types of
cerebral pathology.The author achieves this by organising his book
on the basis of clinical aetiology. While anatomical and
psychological perspectives are introduced, the emphasis is on
approaches which will help clinicians in the management of patients
with specific neurological diseases. For example, the essential
topic of differential diagnosis is given prominence throughout: the
principles of diagnositc assessment are discussed in a separate
chapter, and specific diagnostic features are outlined in each of
the chapters dealing with individual cerebral pathologies. The
author draws on his own extensive experience as a practising
clinical neuropsychologist to describe and evaluate the range of
existing memory test procedures, and suggest additional procedures
as appropriate. Full references are also given for those wishing to
develop their own assessment of therapeutic procedures. Mainly
intended for practising neurologists and clinical
neuropsychologists, anyone whose work brings them into contact with
patients suffering from memory disturbance will find this book
invaluable.
