This ambitious and important second edition of the Handbook of
Medical Neuropsychology takes an in-depth approach to the medical
conditions and methods of neurorehabilitation. Comprehensive in
scope and highly detailed in its coverage, the second edition, like
the first, characterizes the effects of disease and the impact of
interventions in the current state of advanced medicine at a level
appropriate both for researchers and for clinicians. Featuring the
most up-to-date information and quantitative research on cognitive
neuroscience of autism, HIV/AIDS, cancer, head injury, respiratory
diseases, endocrine diseases, early birth injury, dementia, and
other disorders, the book handles theory, historical background,
practical considerations, and controversial areas with evidence
based disease indicators, clinical expertise, and real-world
insight. It seeks to critique diagnostic and assessment tools
specific to disorders. The new chapters in this inclusive second
edition reflect the changes in prominent problems found in the
clinic and provide worthy insights for research investigation in
their review of: Substance use disorders. Nutrition in
neurocognition and mental health. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's
thyroiditis. Traumatic brain injury in very early childhood.
Cognitive functioning in asthma. The role of mindfulness in
neurorehabilitation. The Handbook of Medical Neuropsychology, 2nd
Edition continues to be an essential resource for the
neuropsychology clinician, researcher, practitioner or graduate
student. It will be stimulating and relevant reading for years to
come.

This handbook celebrates the abundantly productive interaction of
neuropsychology and medicine. This interaction can be found in both
clinical settings and research l- oratories, often between research
teams and clinical practitioners. It accounts for the rapidity with
which awareness and understanding of the neuropsychological com-
nents of many common medical disorders have recently advanced. The
introduction of neuropsychology into practice and research
involving conditions without obvious neurological components
follows older and eminently successful models of integrated care
and treatment of the classical brain disorders. In the last 50
years, with the growing understanding of neurological disorders,
neuropsychologists and medical specialists in clinics, at bedside,
and in laboratories together have contributed to important clinical
and scienti c advances in the und- standing of the common
pathological conditions of the brain: stroke, trauma, epilepsy,
certain movement disorders, tumor, toxic conditions (mostly
alcohol-related), and degenerative brain diseases. It is not
surprising that these seven pathological con- tions were the rst to
receive attention from neuropsychologists as their behavioral
symptoms can be both prominent and debilitating, often with serious
social and economic consequences.
