Produktbeschreibung

Continuing significant advances in the understanding of brain-behavior relationships have necessitated a new edition of this highly acclaimed text. For the third edition, several chapters have been completely rewritten, and the rest have been completely revised in light of recent developments. A new chapter on the neuropsychology of schizophrenia has been added. This well-established work remains the best available source for clinical descriptions of behavioral and intellectual disorders that clearly have a neurological origin. The book describes all the major neurobehavioral disorders of adults, including aphasia, alexia, agraphia, agnosia, apraxia, amnesic disorders, dementia, and others. In addition to providing a detailed clinical description, the contributing authors discuss methods of diagnosis and treatment, and consider the pathophysiology and neurological mechanisms underlying these disorders. The practical clinical approach presented in this volume will be invaluable to neurologists, psychologists, speech pathologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals who treat patients suffering from neuropsychological disorders.
