I am an occuaptional therapy assistant student. I am particularly interested in neurology and I found this handbook while doing library research today. I ordered it immediately so that I will have it with me for my clinical affiliation in a local neurology center. It is well-written, easy enough for even a student to understand, and it is very thorough. The handbook format is perfect to keep with me as a part of my on-site reference library. Thank you for meeting the needs of students as well as seasoned clinicians.

I think that this book is very clear and it has a lot of useful charts and figures. If you want a fast overview of any aspect related with neuorpsychological assessment in the clinical enviroment this is a good handbook, that you can carry into your pocket.

As a practicing neuropsychologist, I purchased this text with a view to having a small, portable reference book to take with me when assessing clients in locations away from my desk. For this purpose it has been excellent – while brief, it is an excellent reference text. In particular, I have found the stroke sections and frontal lobe pathology areas useful. Highly recommended.

This handbook, in its updated edition, is essential as part of introductory clinical neuropsychology. While thus ideal for trainees in clinical neuropsychology, it also is extremely useful and user-friendly for experienced clinical neuropsychologists, particularly for referencing theory, research, and recent practice standards in a wide array of diagnostic and subject areas. As it bears the imprimatur of the American Psychological Association, readers can be assured that it represents the equivalent of peer-reviewed received wisdom regarding the state of the field as or shortly before publication date.

This book is full of useful info. The only problem, the size is a bit large for a pocket guide. I cont. to find things in it that are useful and helpful while doing consults. However, I often do not carry the book with me due to its cumbersome size. It’s not as large a regular book, but much thicker than a typical pocket handbook. It is a jewel of info regarding neuropsych but a bit much to carry on consults (at least on hospital units).
I do rec. this book for anyone wanting a concise describtion of various neuropsych disorders and assessment strategies.
