"Finally, a book that puts the brain into the context of the real world! The editors and contributors should be commended for this remarkable, broad-reaching volume that explores the neuropsychological underpinnings of some of our most fundamental tasks of everyday living. Not since Halstead's seminal Brain and Intelligence has the ecological validity of neuropsychological procedures been systematically raised to such a truly scientific plane of inquiry. Thought provoking and generative, this book is 'must' reading for practitioners, researchers, advanced graduate students, and instructors." - Gordon J. Chelune, Senior Neuropsychologist, Center for Alzheimer's Care, Imaging and Research, Department of Neurology, University of Utah "Often, clinicians and investigators find it difficult to understand the implications of neuropsychological test performance for real-world functioning. This comprehensive book presents state-of-the-art approaches for the evaluation of function in applied situations. It then explores the relationship between cognition and function in specific medical conditions and contexts. This book will be of great value to both the student and the experienced clinical practitioner. It will also serve as an important guide to investigators who wish to explore the functional implications of cognitive changes." - Yaakov Stern, Division Leader, Cognitive Neuroscience Division, Columbia University "This book heralds a new age in clinical neuropsychology. Marcotte and Grant have done a masterful job of identifying leaders in the field of everyday functioning to capture the breadth and depth of this critical and challenging area. Chapters provide an excellent framework for assessing everyday functioning and its relationship to cognitive deficits across a wide spectrum of etiologies and types of functions. The volume is 'must' reading for clinicians and researchers, and the functional impact of neuropsychological deficits should be a cornerstone of neuropsychological training programs. Instructors in the field will find this book an indispensable text." - Kathleen Y. Haaland, New Mexico VA Healthcare System and Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry, University of New Mexico
