Clinical Neuropsychology and the Psychological Care of Persons with Brain Disorders is written for individuals seeking to improve psychological care services for persons with a brain disorder. It provides background information regarding the normal development and decline of brain functions and how various brain disorders impact neuropsychological functioning. It then provides examples of how to improve the psychological care of individuals with various brain disorders (e.g. traumatic brain injury, cerebral anoxia, multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular accidents, Parkinson''s disease, and various dementias).
The administration of psychological care to persons with brain disorders requires a series of skills that integrate the knowledge of clinical neuropsychology with developmental psychology, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and the study of the humanities. In Clinical Neuropsychology and the Psychological Care of Persons with Brain Disorders, Dr. Prigatano describes his approach to this complex topic. He reviews some of the defining characteristics of human nature, and blends that discussion with an understanding of how the brain normally develops and declines with age. The psychological struggles of people at each stage of development are further described as different brain disorders occur at different times in development.
