Fractured Minds Reviews

From reviews of the first edition: "The most remarkable feature of this volume lies in the author's emphasis on bringing clinical practice back to neuropsychology. In this volume, clinical practice in neuropsychology goes beyond diagnostic evaluation. It is a discipline that sets its goals on
improving the quality of life for patients and their families. It is...a book written with clarity and clinical sensitivity. Lecturers in introductory neuropsychology, abnormal psychology, or introductory psychology will find this volume a useful source for supplementary reading and a book
students can enjoy." --Contemporary Psychology
"The book's goal is to provide the reader with a broad picture of clinical neuropsychology. Dr. Ogden's intent is that the book will serve as an introductory text in clinical neuropsychology that will capture the attention and interest of students without actually requiring them to 'learn how to do
it.' It was written primarily for university and beginning graduate students, but it will also be of interest to health professionals who work with neurological patients..." --The American Journal of Psychiatry
"The selected cases are extremely well presented, rich in detail, and unmatched in the presentation of the human aspect of neurological disease. Dr. Ogden provides details of the person's premorbid history, the clinical presentations and history, medical findings, the methods of cognitive
assessment, and specific test results...Her approach is systematic, logical and illustrates sound clinical reasoning. As a text, it would be a very strong supplement to a solid foundation in neuroscience." --Journal of the International NeuropsychologicalSociety
