| Summary: | "Neuropsychology is a subdiscipline of psychology composed of scientists and clinicians studying the relationship between behavior and human brain structure and function. This book's aim is to describe current knowledge in the field, to guide future research, and to stimulate the development of new neuropsychological methods. It is concerned with the future of neuropsychology as much as it is with the field's current status. The intended audience includes neuropsychologists, behavioral and social scientists, and professionals in allied fields, such as clinical and cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and psychiatry. This volume 1 aids clinicians and researchers in updating their understanding of disordered brain function. To address this objective, it provides chapters on neurobehavioral disorders, such as visual agnosia, and chapters on clinical conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. The chapters describe the importance of considering age and developmental status both across time and within the context of individual and environmental risks, resources, and reserves. Some chapters especially focus on the need for neuropsychologists to monitor early or accelerated aging. Other chapters describe the transition of care from youth to young adults—an important topic receiving more attention in health care systems due to improved pediatric long-term survival rates. The Volume 1 is organizes into two parts. Part I begins with the discussion of neurobehavioral disorders. Part II includes discussions of acquired brain diseases; psychological disorders; leukemia and sickle cell disease; infectious disorders; degenerative diseases; substance use and abuse; eating, sleep, and circadian rhythm disorders; and environmental neurotoxicity."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved). |
