Reviews

"The editors and authors of this important volume have contributed thorough, integrative, and clearly articulated coverage of essential knowledge while placing an important emphasis on the dynamic change and course of development that distinguishes child/pediatric from adult neuropsychology... It is an engaging read that will be appreciated by graduate students as well as more senior practitioners across the neurosciences". (International Neuropsychological Society, October 2010)
