This book presents the most current information about the influences of brain function on the cognitive-perceptual, learning, behavioral, and psychosocial adjustment of children and adolescents. To establish a base for understanding, the authors introduce the study of child clinical neuropsychology and functional neuroanatomy in the first two chapters. Readers will learn anatomy and physiology in clear, concise language. In the next three chapters, neuropsychological assessment is presented. The authors then examine the biogenetic and environmental factors that affect the neuropsychological functioning of children with various disorders. In the final chapters, specific intervention methods are addressed along with case studies to show how process-oriented neuropsychological assessment can inform intervention planning. This book presents a transactional neuropsychological approach for understanding childhood and adolescent disorders. It is for professionals working in the field of child/adolescent psychology.
