A Handbook of Geriatric Neuropsychology: Practice Essentials
(Second Edition) brings together experts in the field to integrate
the knowledge and skills needed to understand and treat older
adults who are experiencing problems with memory and other thinking
skills. With three new sections, including coverage of other
conditions beyond neuropsychological disorders, special assessment
contexts, and more on interventions and ethics, as well as multiple
new chapters, and significant updates from the first edition, this
book provides a strong foundation for clinicians, educators, and
researchers invested in the wellbeing of older adults. The impact
and experience of aging, like the practice of neuropsychology,
evolves over time. Similarly, through advances in science and
professional techniques, neuropsychological practice has continued
to evolve. Neuropsychological evaluation remains the most effective
method of diagnosing age-related cognitive decline, cognitive
difficulties that result from psychological factors, and other
related disorders, as well as determining how the various disorders
impact functioning and quality of life. This book explores these
areas and offers state-of-the-art assessment techniques to assess
changes in cognition and behavior and to distinguish normal changes
from neuropathology. This book is a go-to resource and key
reference for psychologists who serve older adults with known or
suspected cognitive problems, as well as those who are invested in
promoting brain wellness. It provides much of the information
needed to establish and improve foundational and functional
competencies in geriatric neuropsychology and establish practices
that are personally and professionally rewarding, all aimed at
promoting the understanding and wellbeing of older adults.
The American Psychological Association published a revision of the
Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct in
2002.This text, a companion to the 2002 text Ethical Issues in
Clinical Neuropsychology by Bush and Drexler, presents the reader
with common ethical challenges in neuropsychology. This text
examines the differences between the 1992 and 2002 APA Ethics Codes
as they relate to neuropsychological activities. The authors
present cases and discuss ethical issues related to
neuropsychological practice with a variety of patient populations
and in a variety of clinical settings. In addition, ethical issues
in neuropsychological research and test development are examined.
The text also includes chapters on emerging and particularly
challenging aspects of neuropsychological practice, such as the
assessment of response validity, and the use of information
technology and telecommunications. Through the use of case
illustrations, the authors examine ethical issues in
neuropsychology and the new Ethics Code, offering a practical
approach for understanding and promoting ethical neuropsychological
practice.

The American Psychological Association now considers clinical
supervision an essential professional activity of clinical
neuropsychologists, yet most receive very little training in this
activity. Instead, they rely on publications about providing
general psychology supervision, with limited resources tailored to
the specialty of clinical neuropsychology. This book offers a
review of theoretical, practical, and ethical considerations when
providing supervision in clinical neuropsychology. In each chapter,
neuropsychologists with extensive experience teaching and
supervising trainees review the scholarly literature and share
wisdom with those who are learning how to conduct clinical
supervision. Chapters cover competency, structural and practical
issues, ethical considerations, diversity and inclusion in
supervision, future challenges, and more. The book also includes 8
appendices for easy reference on matters such as professional
competencies, evaluation, and supervision broadly. Supervision in
Neuropsychology is a well-rounded, valuable resource for those who
mentor neuropsychology trainees.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th European
Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data
Mining in Bioinformatics, EvoBIO 2013, held in Vienna, Austria, in
April 2013, colocated with the Evo* 2013 events EuroGP, EvoCOP,
EvoMUSART and EvoApplications. The 10 revised full papers presented
together with 9 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected
from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics
in the field of biological data analysis and computational biology.
They address important problems in biology, from the molecular and
genomic dimension to the individual and population level, often
drawing inspiration from biological systems in oder to produce
solutions to biological problems.
Unique in its focus, this book provides an evidence-based
framework for assessing work-related neurological and psychological
injuries. Meeting a key need, chapters address a range of problems
encountered in the workplace: traumatic brain injury, sports
concussion, electrical injury, exposure to neurotoxic substances,
posttraumatic stress, depression, and brain and psychological
injuries experienced in combat. Professionals will find the best
available tools and strategies for conducting effective, ethical
evaluations of injured workers, making diagnostic determinations,
considering causality, determining disability status, and offering
treatment recommendations. The complexities of consulting to
attorneys, government agencies, and insurance companies are also
discussed.
A Civil War First! Never has anything comparable to this massive
volume been published on the Western Theatre in America's War
Between the States. Bush takes the reader through every major
battle in the West complete with an order of battle listing all
units involved for each confrontation. Richly illustrated with
nearly 700 photographs maps, charts and drawings to embellish each
detailed account. You'll see extraordinary features of some of the
most outstanding artifact collections in the world, all of Western
Theatre battles and men who fought them.
Six compelling histories of youth crime in the twentieth century
Ages of Anxiety presents six case studies of juvenile justice
policy in the twentieth century from around the world, adding
context to the urgent and international conversation about youth,
crime, and justice. By focusing on magistrates, social workers,
probation and police officers, and youth themselves, editors
William S. Bush and David S. Tanenhaus highlight the role of
ordinary people as meaningful and consequential historical actors.
After providing an international perspective on the social history
of ideas about how children are different from adults, the
contributors explain why those differences should matter for the
administration of justice. They examine how reformers used the idea
of modernization to build and legitimize juvenile justice systems
in Europe and Mexico, and present histories of policing and
punishing youth crime. Ages of Anxiety introduces a new theoretical
model for interpreting historical research to demonstrate the
usefulness of social histories of children and youth for policy
analysis and decision-making in the twenty-first century. Shedding
new light on the substantive aims of the juvenile court, the book
is a historically informed perspective on the critical topic of
youth, crime, and justice.

"Overall, this text is excellent, beautifully formatted, and
contains many chapters on mild traumatic brain injury that would
prove helpful to professionals working in this field. While the
text is probably most suited for a graduate level class in a
university curriculum, I think it would be an excellent resource
for the practicing professional's library--the forensic expert, the
life care planner, or the rehabilitation counselor."--The
Rehabilitation Professional
" This] book will provide a valuable resource to
neuropsychologists and non-neuropsychologists alike for many years
into the future as the primary, one-stop shopping bank vault of
information relating to symptom validity assessment in the very
specialized world of mild traumatic brain injury."--Psychological
Injury and Law
"The book is well written, engaging, and easy to read. It goes
well beyond simply reviewing validity test literature, as numerous
clinical issues related to both mTBI and validity testing are
discussed, validity assessment in multiple clinical and forensic
settings is described, and up-to-date research findings are
provided. I would recommend this book to any clinician (or
clinician in training) who wants a practical guide specifically
devoted to integrating validity assessment techniques and outcomes
into clinical work."--Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology
"This edited book is clearly the best in the field among the
several that have just come out on the topic. The chapter authors
are leaders in the field, and touch all important areas. The
chapters form a logical sequence that make learning about the field
easier, are well-written, and are filled with up-to-date scientific
findings that will help practitioners navigate well this difficult
area of neuropsychological forensic practice. I recommend the book
without reservation and am sure it will be useful in guiding
neuropsychological assessments and preparations for court." Gerald
Young, PhD, C. Psych.

"This book provides an excellent, singular shelf reference on
the influence of motivational factors and the importance of symptom
validating testing in the neuropsychological assessment of mild
traumatic brain injury It] marks an essential resource for those
who see patients with mild traumatic brain injury." Michael McCrea,
PhD, ABPP-CN
Medical College of Wisconsin
"This outstanding volume is a unique contribution to the
neuropsychologist's library, bringing together two of our most
important and timely topics in one text: MTBI and validity
assessment for effort, response bias and malingered symptomology
This will be an important resource for some time to come and
deserves a prominent place in every neuropsychologist's library."
Joel E. Morgan, PhD, ABPP-CN
New Jersey Medical School
This authoritative volume is the first book specifically devoted
to symptom validity assessment with individuals with a known or
suspected history of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). It brings
together leading experts in MTBI, symptom validity assessment, and
malingering to provide a thorough and practical guide to the
challenging task of assessing the validity of patient presentations
after an MTBI. The book describes techniques that can drastically
alter case conceptualization, treatment, and equitable allocation
of resources. In addition to covering the most important symptom
validity assessment methods, this timely volume provides guidance
to clinicians on professional and research issues, and information
on symptom validity testing in varied populations.
The book covers MTBI assessment in such specific settings and
populations as clinical, forensic, sports, children,
gerontological, and military. It also addresses professional issues
such as providing feedback to patients about symptom validity,
ethical issues, and diagnostic schemas. "Mild Traumatic Brain
Injury "will provide neuropsychologists, referring health care
providers, courts, disability insurance companies, the military,
and athletic teams/leagues with the in-depth, current information
that is critical for the accurate and ethical evaluation of MTBI.
