Child Neuropsychology

Child Neuropsychology “Reed and Warner-Rogers have made a substantial contribution to the development of child neuropsychology, which has suffered a dearth of comprehensive texts, in this broad-ranging, well-conceived, and authoritative volume.” Professor J Graham Beaumont, Department of Clinical Psychology, Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, London “For me, they have more than succeeded in meeting their goals for combining science and practice, staying academically grounded but accessible, and powerfully presenting the case for the necessary focus on developmental variables. The text is both fascinating and readable throughout.” Jane Holmes Bernstein, Department of Psychiatry, Children’s Hospital Boston / Harvard Medical School “A valuable addition to the libraries of pediatric/child neuropsychologists. It takes a somewhat different and refreshing approach as compared to existing texts, focusing on neurobehavioral functions rather than clinical disorders.The book places a strong emphasis on clinical translation and application that should appeal to practitioners, but is firmly grounded in state-of-the-art theory and research.” Professor Keith Yeates, Department of Pediatrics, Children’s Research Institute, Ohio State University “Here in a single volume, the reader will find summaries of current theory and knowledge regarding nearly all of the most common disorders seen by pediatric neuropsychologists. Whether read as the textbook for a course, or bought as a self-study aid, those new to the field will find this information to be invaluable. More experienced professionals are sure to appreciate well-edited chapters that will quickly bring them ‘up to speed’ on recent advances. This is an immensely useful book that should be a part of every pediatric neuropsychologist’s library.
