Well-known as the "bible" in its field, this text/reference has been thoroughly revised and updated by a team of internationally recognized and clinically experienced neuropsychologists. Drawing on their diverse interests, they provide authoritative, broad-based, and in-depth coverage of current research and clinical practice in neuropsychology. They have not, however, changed the book's overall organization. The first eight chapters present the knowledge base for understanding the principles and practice of patient-oriented, hypothesis-testing neuropsychological assessment. The last 12 chapters review nearly all tests and assessment techniques discussed in previous editions plus many new ones and recent revisions of older tests. The extent of the updating is apparent from the fact that approximately half of the more than 7,000 references cited appeared since the last edition was published.
Many new topics relevant to current assessment practices have been added to the 4th edition. The chapter on examination procedures, for example, now contains sections on cognitive functioning in pain and PTSD patients. The chapter on brain disorders includes new material on electrical/lighting injuries, migraine, Alzheimer's disease and other dementing disorders, and both medical and psychological treatments. The discussion of assessment procedures has been updated throughout to cover recently published test batteries used in general neuropsychological assessment (e.g., mental abilities, memory), newly developed batteries for specific issues (e.g., frontal lobe evaluation), and recent research on older neuropsychological assessment batteries. The fully revised chapter on assessing response bias describes and evaluates more than 60 tests, test combinations, and other measures for detecting questionable effort within the context of forensic neuropsychological assessment.
"...the authoritative reference and practitioner's manual... this edition incorporates new research on brain-behavior relationships,neurological disorders,neurodiagnostic issues, assessment procedures, & newly developed neuropsych tests."
Reviewer: Sheila M. Dowd, PhD(Rush University Medical Center) Description: Now in its fourth edition, this book provides the latest information on neuropsychological assessment and is an excellent reference source. Purpose: The purpose of this book is to provide a wide range of information currently relevant to the appreciation and completion of neuropsychological assessments. The authors were successful with this very comprehensive task, and the book will continue to be valuable in psychology training, practice, and research. Audience: This book is useful for graduate students and clinicians, both in the specialty field of neuropsychology and for those who use neuropsychological testing in their practice or research. The authorship has expanded with this latest edition and includes credible and respected psychologists. Features: Last published in 1995, the book follows the structure of past editions, offering basic theory and brain structure, an account of tests and techniques, descriptions of the neurological disorders, and a discussion of most adult tests. Because of the book's consistent format, it is a dependable resource. The authors include informative case examples. Additionally, the appendices are an excellent reference list of test publishers. Assessment: With each edition, the text reflects the latest research and innovations in the ever expanding field of neuropsychological testing. It is helpful for both graduate students and practitioners. This book continues to be one of the leading comprehensive books in the area of neuropsychological assessment, and it will remain on my bookshelf as a resource.
