Pathways to Prominence in Neuropsychology Reviews
The book is exciting to read. Once you start reading a given contribution, you won't want to put it down until finished. The book is stimulating, informative and insightful. -- Dr. Russell Adams, University of OklahomaHealth Sciences Center
This unique collection should contain something of interest to every professional involved with neuropsychology. The autobiographies by Butter, Christensen, Meier, Parsons, Reitan and Spreen tell firsthand how clinical neuropsychology came to be a profession. Reitan writes what is probably the most intimate portrait of Halstead we have. Heilman, Pribram and Rourke narrate how their own discoveries were made. The biographies of Hecaen, Luria, Sperry and Teuber include surprising details. -- Dr. Corwin Boake, University of Texas-Houston Medical School
