Paul J. Eslinger, PhD, is Professor and Clinical Neuropsychologist in the Departments of Neurology, Neural and Behavioral Sciences, and Pediatrics, College of Medicine, Penn State/Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
This book will be of immediate and vital importance to clinical
neuropsychologists and allied professionals involved in caring for
brain-damaged patients. Dr. Eslinger has assembled a superb
collection of cutting-edge contributions that provide an exquisite
blend of science and practice. The field of neuropsychological
rehabilitation, growing exponentially in size and importance, has
been waiting for two decades for a definitive textbook of this
caliber. This book is essential reading for clinical and
experimental neuropsychologists, rehabilitation therapists, speech
therapists, and others who care for patients with brain injury. It
would also serve as an excellent textbook for a graduate-level
course on neuropsychological rehabilitation. Finally, students
enrolled in postdoctoral residency training programs in clinical
neuropsychology should have access to this book.--Daniel Tranel,
PhD, Department of Neurology, University of Iowa
This book is a timely and worthy contribution to the field. Each
author has hewed to the editor's charge to evaluate
neuropsychological interventions 'clinically and scientifically.'
The result is a comprehensive treatment of current problems and
practice in neuropsychological rehabilitation that is refreshingly
frank and honest. The theoretical and evidentiary bases for
practice are critically reviewed. This volume not only can serve as
a reference for practitioners and students, but also sets out a
clear research agenda for the field.--Michael Weinrich, MD
This book offers the most current, integrated knowledge of
neuropsychological rehabilitation and clinical neuroscience. It
examines many new advances in the field and demonstrates the
significance of treating the brain-injured person as a whole,
rather than as a collection of symptoms. Focusing on studies that
have real-world applications, the book clearly outlines innovative
research methodology to improve chances for replication. For
students, researchers, and practitioners, this book will become a
gold standard in the field.--Giuseppe Zappalà, MD, Unit of
Behavioral Neurology, Clinical Neurotraumatology and
Rehabilitation, Garibaldi Hospital, Catania, Italy
This timely book, edited by a leading cognitive neuroscientist,
represents an important contribution to the movement toward
evidence-based interventions. Chapters by recognized experts
provide a background in the history and methodology of cognitive
neurorehabilitation, synthesize recent research, and appraise the
applications to intervention in various neurobehavioral domains.
Written from a scientific perspective, yet equally relevant to
clinical practice, this is an indispensable book for both
investigators and practitioners. It will also be a useful text for
graduate courses in neurorehabilitation.--Harvey S. Levin, PhD,
Head, Psychology Division, Baylor College of Medicine
- A very readable, well-edited book applicable to both students in
rehabilitation and neuropsychology and well-established
practitioners....This book serves to update the clinician's
knowledge by providing research-based findings, novel ideas, and
concepts that can be directly applied to their practice. It also
can serve as a textbook for advanced students who have chosen to
specialize in rehabilitation and are just beginning to work with
patients who have neuropsychological impairments due to brain
injury....I highly recommend this book. --Archives of Clinical
Neuropsychology, 1/26/2005ƒƒ The book's title captures its essence:
A lovely combination of the latest scholarly research on a wide
range of neuropsychological interventions combined with practical
guidelines for the clinician. Rarely does one find this combination
in such a readable and useful book. It is clear that the editor and
authors are not simply academics but are also dedicated to the very
real needs of their patients....Rehabilitation specialists will
want to keep this book close at hand in their work. It is an
excellent resource for effective treatment suggestions as well as a
valuable guide for future research as we refine our knowledge of
which treatments are effective for which people under which
conditions. --Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 1/26/2005ƒƒ A
jewel of a book for the experienced clinician and an important text
for those entering the field....Almost all of the chapters are
sophisticated presentations that are both thoughtful and
thought-provoking....Rarely am I as excited about a book as I was
reading Neuropsychological Interventions. It provides a needed
resource for clinicians and researchers in the field. It also is a
fine textbook for training young clinicians. --The Journal of
Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1/26/2005ƒƒ This book
is well-written and would serve well as a general guide in graduate
neuropsychology, occupational health, and assessment classes. It
contains many useful, up-to-date references and excellent brief
task-orienting tables. --Psychological Reports, 1/26/2005
