Clinical Neuropsychology

Goldstein (psychology, Maudsley Hospital, UK) and McNeil (psychology, Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit, Homerton Hospital, UK) present material that clinicians need to know to assess the cognitive functioning of patients affected by neurological conditions and to refer patients for rehabilitation and treatment. Contributors look at newly developed neuroimaging techniques and discuss the interface between neuropsychological assessment and psychiatric disorders, the effects of medications on cognitive functioning, and rules governing medico-legal work in civil cases in the UK.
