James B. Hale, PhD, provides psychological and
neuropsychological services at the Children's Evaluation and
Rehabilitation Center in the Bronx, New York. He is a faculty
member in the Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College
of Medicine and Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva
University.
Catherine A. Fiorello, PhD, is Associate Professor of School
Psychology at Temple University, where she currently serves as
program coordinator for school psychology. Prior to completing her
doctorate, she worked as a certified school psychologist, and she
continues to maintain a private practice in diagnostic
assessment.
Hale and Fiorello have met their goal in this book, providing a
clearly written, data-based survey of the child-centered
brain/n-/behavior literature. Clinically relevant and
user-friendly, this book will serve as a primary text in
beginning-level graduate neuropsychology courses, and as a
supplemental text in cognitive assessment courses. It is also a
useful reference for clinicians and researchers working with
children and adolescents.--Vincent C. Alfonso, PhD, Graduate School
of Education, Fordham University
This unique volume brings together the fundamentals of
neuropsychology and brain organization with discussions of specific
neurodevelopmental syndromes, their impact on learning and
behavior, and practical issues of diagnosis and remediation.
State-of-the-art knowledge is presented in a reader-friendly,
engaging manner. This book will be an invaluable reference and
guide for school psychologists, child neuropsychologists, child
psychiatrists, special education professionals, and anyone else
concerned with brain-behavior relationships in the educational
context.--Elkhonon Goldberg, PhD, Department of Neurology, New York
University School of Medicine
Finally, another neuropsychology book geared to practitioners! This
much-needed volume integrates brain-behavior relationships within
an educational context. Recent research has made clear that we
cannot understand individuals without studying neuropsychology, yet
few resources like this one exist. Practitioners, researchers, and
students will find a variety of cases, figures, forms, and charts
that are helpful in the daily practice of school psychology. The
text is written in a user-friendly fashion, offers a variety of
essential neuropsychological information, and comprehensively
reviews related assessment activities, while focusing on
interventions. In sum, it offers the beginning knowledge base that
is missing from so many school psychology programs.--Rik Carl
D'Amato, PhD, Editor, School Psychology Quarterly; College of
Education, University of Northern Colorado
- This book is the first of its kind and represents an initial step
in the right direction for school psychology, especially in light
of the new requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act....We praise the authors for writing this book, which
definitely will be a positive addition to the school psychology and
psychology in the schools literature. --Applied Neuropsychology,
