- Summary:
- Neuropsychological impairment is a common comorbidity in many general practice clients. This book is a guide for practitioners who wish to understand the basics of neurological disorders, testing, assessment, and care. Because neuropsychological guidelines are becoming increasingly specialized and complex, the general practitioner can easily feel overwhelmed by the subdiscipline of neuropsychology and the process of referring for services of specialized providers. Whereas other books provide information on screening patients for these disorders, this volume offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities that often accompany work with clients experiencing cognitive impairment. Readers will acquire key background information on neurological disorders, on how to recognize symptoms in clients, and on how to read neuropsychological reports. This book will serve as a reference when the issue of neuropsychological status is clinically relevant. It will also be an ideal introductory text for undergraduate and graduate courses in neuropsychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
