Clinical Neuropsychology Summary

Clinical Neuropsychology by Kenneth M. Heilman

Clinical Neuropsychology comprehensively reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction. Since the third edition appeared in 1993 there have been many advances in the understanding and treatment of neurobehavioral disorders. This edition, like prior editions, describes the classical signs and symptoms associated with the major behavioural disorders such as aphasia, agraphia, alexia, amnesia, apraxia, neglect, executive disorders and dementia. It also discusses advances in assessing, diagnosing and treating these disorders and it addresses the brain mechanisms underlying these deficits. A multi-authored text has the advantage of having authorities write about the disorders in which they have expertise. The fourth edition adds new authors and five entirely new chapters on phonologic aspects of language disorders, syntactic aspects of language disorders, lexical-semantic aspects of language disorders, anosognosia, hallucinations and related conditions. This is the most comprehensive edition of this text to date.

Clinical Neuropsychology Reviews

The book is packed with information and is undoubtedly useful. I am glad to own it. Journal of Neurology, Vol 51, No 6 ... an updated comprehensive review of the major neurobehavioral disorders ... of value for clinicians and students from a variety of disciplines, including neurology, psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, speech pathology, behavioral neurosciences and rehabilitation. European Journal of Neurology ... this fourth edition of a classic text is a very readable and contemporary mix of old (but updated) favourites, completely new chapters on topics also found in the previous edition, and chapters on completely new topics. In the tradition of books published by Oxford University Press, it is a beautiful book ... I have no compunction in recommending that any serious student of clinical neuropsychology, whether new to the game or near retirement, takes out a second mortgage if necessary to purchase this book for their own shelves. Jenni Ogden in JINS
