The Oxford Handbook of the History of Clinical Neuropsychology

 

Description:

While its origins date back to the 19th Century, the field of clinical neuropsychology has existed as a distinct discipline for less than 60 years. The Oxford Handbook of the History of Neuropsychology tells this story of how neuropsychology has evolved to its present state and where is it going. This comprehensive volume begins with chapters reviewing the history of neuropsychology's approaches to disorders of attention, language, memory, and other conditions. Other chapters focus on the origins of neuropsychology's methods including neuropsychological testing, brain imaging, and studies of laterality including the Wada test. While this volume has a number of chapters covering regional developments in clinical neuropsychology as a profession in the United States, it is one of the first volumes to provide additional chapters on development of neuropsychology across different countries. This Handbook gathers the work of experts in the field to provide extensive coverage of the origins of neuropsychology's methods and its approach to various clinical conditions across the globe.
