Description

This work describes the clinical presentation of the major behavioral abnormalities encountered in patients with diseases that affect the brain, and our understanding of the underlying neuropsychological mechanisms. For the third edition, all chapters have been extensively revised in light of recent developments, and a new chapter on the neuropsychology of schizophrenia has been added.
