"There is a wealth of information in this one volume which has
relevance for neuropsychological scientists and practitioners
alike. The book should be required reading for neuropsychologists
and neuropsychology trainees. It should also be read by other
medical and rehabilitation professionals so that they might gain
insights into the art and science of rehabilitating patients with
higher cerebral deficits. This book will help the field of
clinical
neuropsychology to remain a scientific enterprise while perhaps
developing more of a humanistic emphasis." -- Robert Heilbronner,
The Clinical Neuropsychologist, 2000, Vol 14/1
"...an excellent, clear and informative book. Each chapter builds
another layer of knowledge, contributing to the whole. Summaries
and conclusions at the end of each chapter act as a useful 'back'
reference"--ritish Journal of Neurosurgery2001
