Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Disorders of memory are among the most frequent and disabling symptoms of a wide range of clinical disorders. It is an area which has seen intensive research in recent years, producing results that are of considerable relevance to clinical practice and rehabilitation. In this handbook a truly international and authoritative team of leading scientists and clinicians presents a critical, thorough account of memory disorders. The theoretical concepts and research which contribute to an understanding of this field are reviewed as a basis for full discussion of assessment processes, clinical management and therapy. Written for a wide range of practitioners and scientists, the Handbook of Memory Disorders is an accessible, authoritative, up-to-date and useful review of the key research and clinical developments in this field. From published reviews ? "?a valuable updated reference book for clinicians and researchers in psychology and medicine. The book is broad in scope and more comprehensive than other handbooks on memory disorder. ?The editors of this handbook have contributed greatly to bring the fields of cognitive neuropsychology and rehabilitation disciplines closer together." The Lancet "?This is a book that was waiting to be written. ?There are lots of books on amnesia, both of neurological and ?functional? origins, but none that covers the whole range or, indeed, goes well beyond amnesia per se; this one will have an assured and deserved success." Times Higher Educational Supplement "?This book is oriented towards clinical relevance, and thus avoids much of the over-technical and hypothetical literature which abounds in memory research. ?A scholarly but easily assimilated book: not for idle browsing but certain to repay the determined reader."
