Understanding the neuropsychology of various conditions is important clinically and theoretically. This authoritative book is the first to fully explore the subject in a single volume. It provides a ready reference of the nature, extent, location and putative causes of cognitive dysfunction in major brain disorders. Experts provide a volume of reviews of all the principal neurological and psychiatric disorders. Each section focuses on a particular disease, and each section begins with ata summary of the key details of that disorder. Cognitive Deficits in Brain Disorders will prove invaluable to clinicians and trainees, as well as to trainee psychologists and postgraduates. 1.
