The SAGE Handbook of Clinical Neuropsychology

Clinical Neuropsychology is a vast and varied field that focuses on the treatment, assessment and diagnosis of a range of cognitive disorders through a study and understanding of neuroanatomy and the relationship between the brain and human behavior. This two-volume set provide an in-depth overview of the Clinical Neuropsychological field, from an understanding of specific cognitive disorders through to technical knowledge by which they can be assessed, diagnosed and treated. Volume One covers each of the classification systems involved before moving on to specific types of disorders from neurodevelopmental to neuropathological as well as brain injuries, trauma and neurodegenerative disorders. Volume Two focuses on the assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of the cognitive disorders covered in the first volume. Together they are an imperative resource that provide a comprehensive understanding of the field, and how to apply this understanding in clinical settings to effectively treat patients. These handbooks are an essential site of reference for clinicians and scientists, as well as postgraduate students and researchers in a range of disciplines exploring the area.
