This text places emphasis on a psychoanatomical approach, which serves as a basis for the incorporation of other concepts from the numerous texts and articles studied during training as a neuropsychologist. It should also be useful as a reference book for established practitioners and neurologists. It is clinically orientated providing a comprehensive introduction to neuropsychology. Introductory chapters cover basic anatomy of the brain and basic neurology, whilst the main part of the book is structured around the lobes of the brain.

Psychology

Churchill/Livingstone

A new edition of the classic textbook on the anatomical or localisationist approach to neuropsychology. A new and revised edition of one of the classic textbooks of neuropsychology. Neuropsychological abnormalities are described in terms of the function or dysfunction of the lobes of the brain, in contrast to the cognitive approach of most competing books. Clearly written introductory chapters on the anatomy of the brain and on neurology - very useful for clinical psychology trainees and psychology students. Clearly discussed clinical case histories illustrate the neuropsychological assessment section. Final chapter places the psychoanatomical approach in the context of other disciplines such as cognitive neuropsychology. New case studies added. Updated throughout.

This text concentrates on how to conduct the neuropsychological evaluation of a brain damaged patient, eg someone who has been in a road accident. It starts from the premise that the most effective management, treatment and rehabilitation of these patients will occur against a background of neuropsychological evaluation and knowledge. Its intention is to bridge the clinical gap which exists between the textbooks of neuropsychology and the manuals detailing how to treat and rehabilitate brain damaged patients. It includes follow-up discussions of case studies in the first edition, so that readers can see how the prognosis originally given compares with the reality. In addition the final chapter "Roles for the Neuropsychologist" has been expanded and this edition is about ten per cent longer than the first edition.
