Reviews

"The field of clinical neuropsychology has grown so rapidly in recent years that practitioners face a nearly insurmountable task trying to keep up with the burgeoning research literature. This book, and the series of which it is a part, addresses this problem by providing cutting-edge reviews of the recent scientific literature by experts in key areas relevant to clinical practice... The editors are to be commended for assembling such a diverse set of
offerings, from leading authors... I predict that this series will become one of the standards in the field, and that copies of the volumes will become well-worn treasures on clinicians' bookshelves."

Keith Owen Yeates, PhD, ABPP-CN, Chief, Section of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Professor of Pediatrics, Psychology, and Psychiatry, The Ohio State University
In the current age of health care reform, it appears that now is the time for clinical neuropsychology to market itself as a field identified strongly through its reliance on scientific methodology. This volume provides its readers with succinct reviews on the most recent empirical developments in clinical assessment, intervention, and neuroimaging as practiced with a variety of clinical populations. Its contents provide a wealth of information that will prove
to be a valuable resource to clinicians and researchers in all stages of professional development. Members of the profession are urged to use material from this book as a means to follow some of the
latest trends in the field and to help affirm clinical neuropsychology's reputation among healthcare professions as a leader in evidence-based clinical practice."
