内容説明

This book deals with the functions of the right hemisphere of the brain and how damage to this hemisphere can cause particular neurological and psychiatric syndromes. The book brings together the latest ideas about how the right hemisphere works with neurological and psychiatric ideas which have hitherto been excluded from any psychological analysis of this kind.
