This bestselling, comprehensive assessment guide has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest changes in the rapidly maturing field of clinical neuropsychology. This third edition expertly leads neuropsychologists and trainees through the complicated process of assessing, diagnosing, and treating an enormous range of neurologic, neuropsychological, psychiatric, and behavioral disorders and syndromes. New chapters in this edition cover emerging areas such as cultural neuropsychology and somatic disorders, and emphasize newly discovered links between drug abuse and impulse control disorders, while diagnostic information has been updated throughout to reflect the newest DSM-5 criteria. Readers will also gain access to a cache of tools and supplementary material on the APA website, including videos of assessment techniques, audio samples of language deficiencies, and a wealth of diagrams and images that draw upon the latest brain imaging technologies. It is appropriate for neuropsychologists across all health care settings — from emergency rooms, oncology departments, and infectious disease programs, in cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry departments.

Lamberty and Anita H. Sim About the Editors: Michael W. Parsons, PhD, ABPP, graduated from the University of Virginia and earned his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. He completed an internship at the University of Florida/Shands Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He has been on the faculty of Medical College of Wisconsin briefly before joining the faculty of West Virginia University School of Medicine, where he attained the rank of Associate Professor. During his 7 years at West Virginia University, Dr. Parsons directed the clinical psychology internship program and developed a program for clinical fMRI. He joined the Cleveland Clinic in 2007, serving as Staff in the Section of Neuropsychology with appointments in the Center for Behavioral Health and the Burkhardt Brain Tumor Center. Dr. Parsons' research has included numerous functional brain imaging studies of processes of learning and memory. His work has included studies of the clinical applications of fMRI. More recently, his research has focused on neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies of clinical conditions including brain tumor and concussion. He publishes regularly in scholarly journals and presents at scientific conferences. He has participated in studies funded by private foundations, the National Institutes of Mental Health, and the Department of Defense. He participates regularly in training at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. His clinical interests include neurocognitive problems in adults. He has developed the program for neuropsychology at the Burkhardt Brain Tumor Center at the Cleveland Clinic. Thomas Alan Hammeke, PhD, ABPP, graduated summa cum laude from Fort Hays State University and attained his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of South Dakota. He completed an internship at the Clement J. Zablocki VAMC in Milwaukee and subsequently a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He then joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin where he rose in the ranks to Professor and was Director of the Division of Neuropsychology for 25 years. While there, he also assisted in development and served as the Director of Training of an APA accredited postdoctoral residency program. He transitioned to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at Medical College of Wisconsin in 2010 and became the lead neuropsychologist for the Polytrauma Program at Zablocki VAMC and the preceptor for a postdoctoral residency program in clinical neuropsychology. Dr. Hammeke has received research grants from the National Academy of Neuropsychology, American Heart Association of Wisconsin, and NFL Charities, among other organization and foundations. His research has concentrated on use of neurocognitive tests and functional imaging techniques in study of neuropathological conditions, in particular traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. He has co-authored more than 75 peer-reviewed research publications, 25 book chapters and 5 books, and made scientific presentations on his work in North America, Europe and North Korea. He has served as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society and on the editorial board of Neuropsychology and The Clinical Neuropsychologist, and done ad hoc research reviews for 11 neuroscience journals and National Institute for Disability Research and Rehabilitation. He was the founding president of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology, and served as president of APA Division 40 (Neuropsychology) and the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology. He is a fellow of APA (Division 40) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology. He was honored with the Distinguished Neuropsychologist Award from the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology in 2013.
