"This is as close to an exhaustive treatise on adult cognitive disorders as seems possible. Each chapter outlines what is known about the discussed disorder as well as its etiology, symptoms and treatmentsthe result is a veritable diagnostic and treatment manual specific to adult cognitive disorders. The work concludes with a seven-chapter section on perspectives and considerations for the clinical researcher; these chapters should lead to many future directions in the research surrounding these disorders. Highly recommended for professionals and practitioners." - CHOICE

"This is a comprehensive look at adult cognitive disorders, written by an international collection of experts in the field. Clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and researchers will benefit greatly from this book - 5 Stars!" - Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D.(Cermak Health Services), Doody's

"This unique book will serve as a useful resource for trainees as well as seasoned clinicians and researchers interested in brain-behavior relationships across the spectrum of adult neuromedical conditions." - C. Munro Cullum, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Neurological Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

"Drs. Alosco and Stern have produced a tour-de-force of a handbook that should be within easy reach of every clinician and researcher who deals with cognitive disorders. Each chapter, written by an expert in the field, is self-contained but also forms part of a whole that is indispensable for students, clinicians, and researchers. Nowhere else can you get all this information in a single volume." - Andrew E. Budson, MD, Professor of Neurology, Boston University School of Medicine & Author of Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory: What's Normal, What's Not, and What to Do About It.
