Download or read book Neuropsychological Assessment written by Muriel Deutsch Lezak and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 2638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its Fifth Edition, Neuropsychological Assessment reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction and injury. This is the 35th anniversary of the landmark first edition. As with previous editions, this edition provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of adult clinical neuropsychology in a single source. By virtue of the authors' clinical and research specializations, this book provides a broad-based and in-depth coverage of current neuroscience research and clinical neuropsychology practice. While the new edition is updated to include new features and topics, it remains true to the highly-regarded previous editions. Methods for obtaining optimum data are given in the form of hypothesis-testing techniques, clinical tips, and clinical examples. In the seven years since the previous edition, many advancements have been made in techniques for examining brain function and in our knowledge about brain-behavior relationships. For example, a surge of functional imaging data has emerged and new structural imaging techniques have provided exquisite detail about brain structure. For the first time, this edition includes examples of these advancements, many in stunning color. This edition also includes new tools for clinicians such as a neuroimaging primer and a comparison table of the neuropsychological features of progressive dementias. The chapters on assessment procedures include discussion of issues related to test selection and reviews of recently published as well as older test batteries used in general neuropsychological assessment, plus newly developed batteries for specific issues.
Download or read book Understanding Driving written by John A. Groeger and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred years ago virtually nobody drove - indeed very few people had actually travelled at more than twenty miles per hour. A century later only a small minority of adults do not hold driving licences. In this book John Groeger examines what is involved in driving. He identifies the aspects of perception, attention, learning, memory, decision making and action control which are drawn upon in order to enable us to drive, and the brain systems involved in such activities. He also attempts to show us how studying tasks such as driving can help to understand how these fundamental aspects of cognition combine to facilitate performance in complex everyday tasks. In doing so he shows how a very broad range of laboratory-based findings can be applied, and that through our attempts to apply this knowledge to complex everyday tasks we gain, in return, a greater understanding of fundamental aspects of human cognition.

Download or read book Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders written by Glen O. Gabbard and published by American Psychiatric Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly evolving knowledge base in psychiatry mandates timely updates to the consensus on treating various psychiatric disorders. Fulfilling that mandate is this Third Edition of the state-of- "Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders." With a deliberately pluralistic approach, its 90 chapters include new information on each disorder plus updated accounts of optimal treatments for both children and adults. Although it emphasizes the results of randomized controlled trials when available, this authoritative compendium also features data from uncontrolled studies and accumulated clinical wisdom when there is limited empirical research from which to draw. Further, this definitive text combines these data with highly sophisticated integrative models of treatment to help clinicians select among the available modalities and assemble them into rational conceptual frameworks that maximize the effectiveness of the overall treatment plan. Presenting complex material in a reader-friendly format, this collection of expert opinions-including discussions of sometimes-controversial treatments-helps clinicians meet the daily challenges of treatment planning. With chapters by recognized authorities on every major disorder based on categories from DSM-IV from those affecting infants and children (learning, developmental, anxiety, and mood disorders) to those affecting adolescents and adults (cognitive, substance-related, psychotic, mood and anxiety, dissociative, somatoform, sexual, eating, personality, sleep, and impulse-control disorders), no other reference even comes close to this volume's encyclopedic scope of treatment detail. Quite simply, this reference is the definitive psychiatric treatment text for students, residents, clinicians, and other mental health professionals.
