Originally published in 1992, this is a wide-ranging text concerned
with the principles and practice of neuropsychological assessment
in adults. It combines a flexible hypothesis testing approach to
assessment with information on specialised test batteries. The book
covers the major areas of memory, language, perception, attention,
and executive dysfunctions, and includes chapters on dementia,
alcohol, drug and toxic conditions, stroke and closed head injury.
Assessment of dysfunction in cases involving claims for
compensation and chapters on specialised assessment techniques,
including automated test procedures, are provided. The book
presents a sound introduction to this complex area and gives
guidelines for the clinician who may need concise information on a
specialised topic.

The chapters published in this volume developed from presentations,
and their associated discussions at a conference organised by the
Scottish Branch of the British Psychological Society, held at
Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland in September 1987. The goal of the
conference was to bring together workers across a wide area of
neuropsychological research to discuss recent technological
advances, developments in assessment and rehabilitation, and to
address theoretical issues of current interest. Thus, the chapters
in this book include contributions on the use of Magnetic Resonance
Imaging and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography in
neuropsychological research, studies of hemi spheric specialisation
and cooperation, alcoholic and Alzheimer type dementia,
prosopagnosia and facial processing, the assessment, management and
rehabilitation of memory problems, the assessment of premorbid
intellectual status and issues in developmental neuropsychology.
Many of those engaged in research and clinical practice in
neuropsychology encounter a range of topic at least as wide as this
in their professional lives. The opportunity for researchers and
clinicians to discuss some of the key issues in the field was
invaluable and we hope that readers gain as much from the material
presented here as the participants did from the meeting itself."
