Reviews

"An excellent introductory text. It is clearly written, with humor and many interesting comments. All the striking neuropsychological syndromes are lucidly described, and students will know that they are learning from a true expert with over 30 years of experience to draw on. The new chapters on imaging, degenerative conditions, profound forms of brain injury, and psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, as well as the increased focus on rehabilitation, are valuable additions which students will find fascinating. While the text will be particularly valuable for graduate students specializing in clinical neuropsychology, beginners in the field also will find it useful and accessible." -" Andrew Mayes, School of Psychological Sciences, University of Manchester, United Kingdom "The superb first edition of Introduction to Neuropsychology has been prominently displayed on my bookshelf and used in my teaching. Covering both clinical and experimental applications, this book provides what I have always found to be the best approach for teaching students the art and science of neuropsychological assessment. The second edition retains all of the good qualities of its predecessor and adds key advances in the clinical neurosciences, including brain imaging. This highly readable book constitutes an essential overview of the field, and I plan on using it in my Introduction to Human Neuropsychology course." - "Erin D. Bigler, Department of Psychology, Brigham Young University, USA "Beaumont produced a classic with his first edition. The second edition continues the tradition while presenting a comprehensive, well-balanced, and accessible introduction to modern clinical neuropsychology. It provides an overview of syndromes, symptoms, methods, and commonly used techniques. This book sets a new standard for neuropsychology texts." - "Antonio E. Puente, Department of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, USA
