The ability to recognize cognitive impairments in a patient is crucial for the general practitioner in psychology. Treating Patients With Neuropsychological Disorders by Jeffery B. Allen, is the essential guide for practitioners working with patients who may have neurological disorders. These disorders are so prevalent that no mental health practitioner can afford to be without the guidance offered in this book.
Because neuropsychological guidelines grow more complex over the years, the general practitioner can easily feel overwhelmed when faced with the prospect of having to refer a patient to a neuropsychologist. While other books merely provide information on screening patients for these disorders, this volume offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities that often accompany work with clients experiencing cognitive impairment. This book provides practitioners with background information on neurological disorders, how to recognize their symptoms in clients, and how to read neuropsychological reports, making it an invaluable reference tool.
