Neuropsychological Assessment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders

This unique text combines a timely review of the methods of assessment used by major neuropsychological laboratories with an up-to-date discussion of neuropsychiatric disorders. The contributors discuss the rationale behind each assessment strategy, stressing the importance of gathering evidence from a number of complementary tests and procedures, and consider neuropsychological findings as seen in the most frequently occurring neurologic/psychiatric disorders: dementia, depression, alcoholism, epilepsy, losed head injury, schizophrenia, and drug abuse. Both clinical aspects and research findings are covered, with an integration of theory with practice where possible. The book provides a rich source of information for psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and other professionals concerned with adult behavior.Grant, Igor is the author of 'Neuropsychological Assessment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders' with ISBN 9780195035452 and ISBN 0195035453.
