The Encyclopedia of Neuropsychological Disorders

This book serves as an A-Z reference that addresses the neuropsychological aspects of 300 neurological disorders. Each entry contains the following 5 sections that will cover (1) essential features of the disorder (2) physiological basis of the disorder (3) clinical presentation (4) neuropsychological assessment and differential diagnosis (5) evidence-based treatments and interventions. This book is written for clinical professionals to increase diagnostic accuracy and intervention successfulness.

The text goes beyond the emotional and behavioral aspects of each disorder and views the broader impacts of the symptoms. This approach emphasizes the importance of looking at the other functional impacts of these manifestations (e.g. cognitive deficits secondary to depression). The emphasis on neuropsychological assessment and treatment of disorders as well as the inclusion of 300 conditions across the lifespan make this the most comprehensive resource available to clinical neuropsychologist.
