This textbook serves as a highly accessible introduction to clinical neuropsychology for undergraduate students. Written in lucid, nontechnical language, the book provides students with insight into how clinical neuropsychologists actually practice their craft. Each chapter begins with a poignant case study of a patient, which serves as a concrete example of the topics to be explored. The book presents a detailed history of neuropsychology and neuroanatomy before examining many of the practical issues that neuropsychologists deal with on a daily basis: neurogenerative disorders, acquired disorders, ethical practice issues, interviewing, testing, differential diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning, individual and family therapy, and drug prescriptions. Key topics: The nervous system: structure and function; Neuropathology: neurodegenerative and acquired disorders; Tests of intellectual abilities and memory functioning; Differential diagnosis; Prognosis and treatment planning
