Clinical Neuropsychology
Fourth Edition
Edited by KENNETH M. HEILMAN and EDWARD VALENSTEIN, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville
Clinical Neuropsychology comprehensively reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction. Since the third edition appeared in 1993 there have been many advances in the understanding and treatment of neurobehavioral disorders. This edition, like prior editions, describes the classical signs and symptoms associated with the major behavioral disorders such as aphasia, agraphia, alexia, amnesia, apraxia, neglect, executive disorders and dementia. It also discusses advances in assessing, diagnosing and treating these disorders and it addresses the brain mechanisms underlying these deficits. A multi-authored text has the advantage of having authorities write about the disorders in which they have expertise. The fourth edition adds new authors and five entirely new chapters on phonologic aspects of language disorders, syntactic aspects of language disorders, lexical-semantic aspects of language disorders, anosognosia, hallucinations and related conditions. This is the most comprehensive edition of this text to date.
It will be of value to clinicians, investigators, and students from a variety of disciplines, including neurology, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, and speech pathology.
From reviews of the Third Edition:
"This is the third edition of a classic book. It is without question, the most important source for detailed descriptions of the classical syndromes."--Annals of Neurology
"Without doubt, Clinical Neuropsychology continues to offer excellent summaries of the classical neuropsychological syndromes. I know of no other single source that offers the breadth and depth of coverage afforded to these topics....Clinical Neuropsychology (3rd edition) remains unequaled in providing rich yet encyclopedic descriptions of various neuropsychological syndromes. There are enough important updates and revisions in this new edition that those who already own the second edition should strongly consider adding the third edition to their bookshelves...."--^Contemporary Psychology
