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.
