Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Summary

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: The International Handbook by Barbara Wilson

This outstanding new handbook offers unique coverage of all aspects of neuropsychological rehabilitation. Compiled by the world's leading clinician-researchers, and written by an exceptional team of international contributors, the book is vast in scope, including chapters on the many and varied components of neuropsychological rehabilitation across the life span within one volume.

Divided into sections, the first part looks at general issues in neuropsychological rehabilitation including theories and models, assessment and goal setting. The book goes on to examine the different populations referred for neuropsychological rehabilitation and then focuses on the rehabilitation of first cognitive and then psychosocial disorders. New and emerging approaches such as brain training and social robotics are also considered, alongside an extensive section on rehabilitation around the world, particularly in under-resourced settings. The final section offers some general conclusions and an evaluation of the key issues in this important field.

This is a landmark publication for neuropsychological rehabilitation. It is the standalone reference text for the field as well as essential reading for all researchers, students and practitioners in clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy. It will also be of great value to those in related professions such as neurologists, rehabilitation physicians, rehabilitation psychologists and medics.

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Reviews

This book is a milestone in neuropsychological rehabilitation - a truly comprehensive assembly of state of the art clinical practice with the best science, written by the world leaders in the field. There is no other book like it anywhere - how I wish something like this had been available when I began to work in neuropsychological rehabilitation more than 30 years ago: its breathtaking comprehensiveness, sound practical advice and scientific integrity make this, quite simply, a classic.

Professor Ian Robertson, Co-Director, Global Brain Health Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

This scholarly yet practical synthesis of a century of research on brain impairment and its management underlines the cost effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation. This Handbook's contents are indispensable to rehabilitation researchers, educators and clinicians for future decades. I wish I had had access to this vade mecum throughout my career

Gina Geffen, Professor Emerita of Psychology, University of Queensland, Director of Psychology, Brisbane Pain Rehabilitation Service, Australia

The Neuropsychological Handbook is ambitious in presenting a wealth of state-of-the-art, evidence-based material to guide clinicians in understanding, assessing and treating the broad range of acquired and progressive neurogenic conditions that they encounter. Every topical area is grounded in available theory and research with an accessible bent on how to apply the information to practice. My copy is quickly becoming well used.

McKay Moore Sohlberg, Hedco Endowed Professor/ASHA Fellow, University of Oregon USA

This book is the most comprehensive textbook on neuropsychological rehabilitation and the first to adopt a global perspective. In accessible chapters, it addresses the state of the art of evidence-based neuropsychological interventions and innovative therapeutic approaches in a wide range of clinical populations, covering the whole lifespan. It is the authoritative reference book for clinicians and researchers.

Roy P.C. Kessels, Professor of Neuropsychology, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Scientific advisor Vincent van Gogh Institute for Psychiatry, Venray, the Netherlands

Rehabilitation professionals and researchers working with individuals impacted by brain injury will find this a valuable book to stimulate their thinking and inform their practice. Particularly noteworthy are the book's dual commitments to evidence-based treatment, and to incorporating an international perspective with contributions from leading rehabilitation researchers and practitioners from across the globe.

Catherine A. Mateer, Professor of Psychology, University of Victoria, Canada; Past President of the AACN and Secretary of the INS.
