truly comprehensive assembly of state of the art clinical practice
with the best science, written by the world leaders in the field.

this had been available when I began to work in neuropsychological
rehabilitation more than 30 years ago: its breathtaking
comprehensiveness, sound practical advice and scientific integrity
make this, quite simply, a classic." Professor Ian Robertson,
Co-Director, Global Brain Health Institute, Trinity College Dublin,

research on brain impairment and its management underlines the cost
effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation. This Handbook’s
contents are indispensable to rehabilitation researchers, educators
and clinicians for future decades. I wish I had had access to this
vade mecum throughout my career"Gina Geffen, Professor Emerita of

Neuropsychological Handbook is ambitious in presenting a wealth of
state-of-the-art, evidence-based material to guide clinicians in
understanding, assessing and treating the broad range of acquired
and progressive neurogenic conditions that they encounter. Every
topical area is grounded in available theory and research with an
accessible bent on how to apply the information to practice. My
copy is quickly becoming well used."McKay Moore Sohlberg, Hedco
Endowed Professor/ASHA Fellow, University of Oregon USA"This book
is the most comprehensive textbook on neuropsychological
rehabilitation and the first to adopt a global perspective. In
