"Neuropsychologists consult in diverse health care settings, such as emergency care, oncology, infectious disease, cardiology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry. A pocket reference is a critical resource for interns, postdoctoral fellows, and practicing clinicians alike. With over 100 quick-reference tables, lists, diagrams, photos, and decision trees, this handbook offers guidance through the complicated work of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. This new edition of Clinical Neuropsychology builds on the success of the best-selling first edition by adding information on how to use and interpret cutting-edge neuroimaging technologies and how to integrate pharmacological approaches into treatment. The reader will also find new chapters on neuro-oncology, schizophrenia, late-life depression, and adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder"--Cover.

This study provides information on the influences of brain function on the cognitive-perceptual, learning, behavioural and psychosocial adjustment of children and adolescents.

Encyclopedia may be consulted for ready reference, summary, or textbook information. Entries give name or subject, dates, discussion, cross references, references, and name of author.

Written for all health care professionals who wish to assess the problems of their patients and clients in a systematic and effective way—whether diagnosing a problem, predicting the response to treatment or monitoring change. The editors have succeeded in making this book comprehensive in scope, covering the major areas in which most clinicians and researchers will desire ready access to measurement techniques and instruments including: screening and detection of psychiatric illness, depression, obsessions and compulsions, social dysfunctioning, mental handicaps, special problems of the elderly, drug problems, eating and sleeping disorders and sexual behavior. In addition to proposing guidelines for the selection and construction of measurement methods and listing the relevant questionnaires and techniques, the merits and limits of rating scales and other methods are considered. There is also an attempt to clarify diagnostic, definitional and other conceptual issues in relation to the problems covered.
