"An Assessment Guide to Geriatric Neuropsychology is going to be a
valuable resource for clinicians and researchers working with
adults over the age of 65. In many respects the book is similar to
Lezak's classic Neuropsychological Assessment and to Spreen and
Strauss' Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests, but is restricted
to older adults. It contains a very comprehensive description of
the major neuropsychological instruments available for geriatric
assessment, along with detailed norms for elderly adults when they
are available. Most of this information is not readily available in
other sources, and thus the book will likely be widely used, and
appreciated, by those who work with elderly populations."
