Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychology

The Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychology, Third Edition continues its established tradition of publishing state-of-the-art commentary on fundamental brain- behavior relationships and neuropathological disorders. This landmark text sets the standard in the field in its scope, breadth, and scholarship, with contributions by renowned clinicians and researchers from across the globe.

The third edition contains new and completely revised chapters written by some of the profession’s most recognized and prominent scholar-clinicians, broadening the scope of coverage of the ever-expanding field of neuropsychology and its relationship to related neuroscience and psychological practice domains. Authors present in-depth and updated or novel coverage related to their most current scientific, clinical, or cross-cultural area of interest. The chapters span new technologies and methodologies, supervisory and other clinical methods, and historical perspectives. Its precise commentary recognizes obstacles that remain in our clinical and research endeavors and emphasizes the prolific innovations in interventional techniques that serve the field’s ultimate aim: to better understand brain-behavior relationships and improve the quality of life of our patients by facilitating their adaptive functional competence.

This is a natural evolution of what has become the comprehensive reference textbook in neuropsychology. It is intended for a wide readership, including clinical and research neuropsychologists and allied neuroscientist colleagues, students and postdoctoral residents, and those preparing for board certification, and will both enlighten and challenge readers, whether novice, mid- level, or senior-level professionals.

He has a long record of NIH-funded research examining cognitive impairment, recovery, and rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury. Recent research interests include the examination of altered cerebral blood flow and functional connectivity as they relate to cognitive impairment after brain injury, using modalities such as functional MRI, positron emission tomography, and diffusion tensor imaging.
