This third edition of the Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology enhances our understanding of the subject by emphasizing current best practice, up-to-date science, and emerging theoretical trends for a comprehensive review of the field.
For neuropsychologists everywhere this is a hugely anticipated volume that lays bare the state of the art in clinical child neuropsychology. Every single chapter has been updated to reflect the current thought and research in the field. Chapters devoted to specialized tests in neuropsychology have been comprehensively revised to reflect new versions of these popular instruments. Special topic chapters have been added such as working in pediatric coma rehabilitation and using the planning, attention, sequential, simultaneous theory of neuropsychological processes. What's more, there are additions on ADHD and many other topics. These have been written by the leading experts and practitioners in these fields to reflect the demands of current practice in clinical child neuropsychology.
From the reviews of the third edition:
"A useful, valid attempt to accomplish an integration of topics in an emerging field, representing both its diversity and its divergency." (Contemporary Psychology, 43:9 (1998)
"Reynolds ? and Fletcher-Janzen, who works in private practice, offer a handbook containing 32 chapters for psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, pediatricians, and physical and speech-language therapists on clinical child neuropsychology. ? chapters cover the history of the field, child development, malformations, intervention, neuropsychological diagnosis, and special topics such as coping and aspects associated with HIV." (SciTech Book News, March, 2009)
"This book reviews the field from the necessary training to specific disorders to treatment and rehabilitation. ? The audience is primarily clinical child neuropsychologists, but students of psychology and neuropsychology would also benefit from the comprehensive coverage. ? This handbook is filled with an abundance of useful information and guidance in the practice of child neuropsychology. Readers will find it a welcome addition to their library ? ." (Christopher J.
