Principles and Practice of Lifespan Developmental Neuropsychology

by Jacobus Donders (Editor), Scott J. Hunter (Editor)

Overview

Lifespan developmental neuropsychology is the study of the systematic behavioral, cognitive, and psychosocial changes and growth that occur across infancy, adolescence, adulthood and later life. This book provides insight into how brain-behavior relationships change over time, how disorders differ in presentation across the lifespan, and what longer-term outcomes look like. Providing practical guidance in a succinct and accessible format, this book covers the most common neurodevelopmental, behavioral and cognitive disorders, including but not limited to ADHD, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Key points concerning the practice of developmental neuropsychology are emphasized in order to aid understanding of neuropsychological development and its impact on behavior, emotion, cognition, and social integration. This will be essential reading for advanced graduate students and early career professionals in the fields of neuropsychology, pediatric psychology, clinical psychology, school psychology, and rehabilitation psychology, as well as practitioners in the allied fields that interact with neuropsychology.

Editorial Reviews

"Although this book is intended for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists also may find it of interest....the fourth chapter on neuroimaging, which contains some beautiful examples of the advanced techniques that have been developed, such as diffusion tensor imaging."
