This was the first manual I used for neuropsychological assessment course and it turned out to be a great help!
Perfect for creating assessment charts, finding necessary and relevant assessment tests, evaluating the results.
With extra information about each condition.

An incredibly helpful resource!

Some of the chapters were much better than others (each was written by a different group of experts in the appropriate field), and the editors could have done a better job of removing overlap and matching formatting across chapters....

But these are common enough issues with textbooks of this sort, and it was quite informative and thorough overall. I found it to be a fantastic read compared to so many neuro texts, as it cuts out the fat and delivers exactly what you need to know (clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria and tests, neurological correlates) in a clear an concise manner. It also contains extremely handy charts, tables, and visualizations to help you organize differential diagnoses in your mind.

I coauthored Chapter 1 of the first edition of this book under my maiden name. I'll have to check out the second edition to see if the editors kept my chapter.
