This unique text combines a timely review of the methods of assessment used by major neuropsychological laboratories with an up-to-date discussion of neuropsychiatric disorders. The contributors discuss the rationale behind each assessment strategy, stressing the importance of gathering evidence from a number of complementary tests and procedures, and consider neuropsychological findings as seen in the most frequently occurring neurologic/psychiatric disorders: dementia, depression, alcoholism, epilepsy, losed head injury, schizophrenia, and drug abuse. Both clinical aspects and research findings are covered, with an integration of theory with practice where possible. The book provides a rich source of information for psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and other professionals concerned with adult behavior.
