About Neuropsychology Of Everyday Functioning
Review ."Impressive in both scope and depth....This is an extremely impressive book which fills a great void in the field. It should be required reading for all clinical neuropsychology students/trainees as well as for all of us who strive on a daily basis to provide useful recommendations to patients and their families....Great progress has been made with a great distance yet to be travelled. This excellent book represents a significant milestone in this journey." ― Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology Published On: 2009-11-08"I am confident that the material in this book will aid clinicians in evaluating the ecological validity of their clinical assessments and in generating empirically supported recommendations for clients. Researchers will benefit from the comprehensive review of the burgeoning literature on everyday functioning. Even investigators whose research programs do not directly address functional abilities will find this volume to be a comprehensive summary that will stimulate thoughts on the functional impact of the neuropsychological constructs that they investigate. This book also could serve as an interesting text for a graduate seminar class. Such a course might spur future neuropsychologists to consider important functional issues early in their careers. In sum, I recommend that all neuropsychologists read this volume, as the information that it contains will certainly aid clinicians and researchers to improve the everyday functioning of our discipline." ― Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society Published On: 2009-11-08"The chapter authors are well chosen and include many notable clinical scientists who have been actively developing practical assessment methods and empirically evaluating the capacity of assessment results to predict behavior....Although the primary audience for this book is clinical neuropsychologists, other psychologists can benefit from reading this text, either by deriving links to instruments and methods or by expanding their own conceptual frameworks." ― PsycCRITIQUES Published On: 2009-11-08“Clearly written. Topics are discussed in detail and references for additional reading are included. This is a book that will be of interest to many psychologists. For those who are very familiar with the field of neuropsychology, there are chapters, such as the one on approaches to functional assessment in occupational therapy, which may offer new insights. For those new to the field, this book may serve as an excellent overview. Physicians and residents in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, geriatrics, and even infectious disease (eg, HIV), could learn a great deal that may have clinical relevance to their patients’ functional abilities, from the discussion of both general theoretical and specific, practical matters. Social workers and marriage and family therapists, sometimes called upon to advise patients or families regarding functional concerns, could reference ideas for referrals or suggestions of resources to consider.” ― Annals of Clinical Psychiatry Published On: 2010-08-01“A welcome addition to the field and provides a cutting-edge review of theoretical, conceptual, and applied clinical issues in investigating the link between neuropsychometric measurement of cognitive abilities and the ability to carry out tasks of everyday living, including instrumental activities of daily living, vocational functioning, medication management, and automobile driving….Authoritative and well written. The book is well organized in sections that variously focus on theoretical and conceptual issues, as well as specific clinical conditions. The book is grounded in empirical science and is likely to be a valuable resource for both clinicians and researchers in the fields of neuropsychology, neurology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, gerontology, and rehabilitation medicine, as well as for graduate-level students, residents, and fellows in these fields….Stimulates critical
