Neuropsychology has been concerned with brain-behavior
relationships. Clinical neuropsychology has been concerned with
application of relation ships to clinical problems. As interest in
these topics continues, a spin-off from clinical neuropsychology
has been the realization ofthe potential ofde lineations of
behavioral consequences of cerebral lesions for developing and
evaluating restoration and compensation objectives. Methods for
these proce dures are scattered in books, journal articles, or else
unwritten, and only in the minds of clinicians. Questions need to
be addressed regarding the kinds ofassessment selections required;
the types ofrehabilitation planning; the in fluences ofthe
environment, communication, and personality; and the means of
effectively evaluating rehabilitation procedures. A useful book is
needed by clinicians working in this area. The purpose of this book
is to consolidate, in one volume, current work able approaches ofa
subdiscipline within neuropsychology and related areas which we are
calling Intervention. Problems, dilemmas, solutions, and choices
are presented to the reader beginning to work in this fascinating
area, and to those of us already enthralled by previous
developments and outcomes. Workers with expertise in assessment for
intervention and interventiop strategies are chapter contributors
who unravel issues, provide available em pirically based theory,
illustrative data, and case reports. The volume begins with a
chapter that emphasizes an awareness of the potential usefulness
ofpathophysiology, and the recognition of spontaneous xv xvi
recovery in relationship to intervention. Part II of the book is
devoted to identifying and developing assessment techniques
relevant for intervention."
