Neuropsychological assessment
Many new topics relevant to current assessment practices have been added to the 4th edition. The first eight chapters of this book present the knowledge base for understanding the principles and practice of patient-oriented, hypothesis-testing neuropsychological assessment. The last 12 chapters review nearly all tests and assessment techniques discussed in previous editions plus many new ones and recent revisions of older tests
