"In this regard, the book has done very well.
It provides a basic for applied practice with up to date references
for more in-depth reading." (The Journal of
Clinical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, 1 August
2013)





I wish this book had been available when I began work as a clinical
neuropsychologist 25 years ago - I would have been a
much better clinician and researcher for reading it. This is, in my
view, the best book in the field because of its deft combination of
real clinical issues with the most up-to-date science. This is no
ivory-tower text on neuropsychology, which was the only type
available when I entered this field; it begins with a wide range of
complex cases and gives the reader the essential background -
neurological and neuroanatomical as well as neuropsychological
- to foster the best practice and research.

-- Ian Robertson, Professor of Psychology,
