Fundamentals of Clinical Neuropsychology presents an accessible introduction to the relationship between various brain dysfunctions and the way they can alter cognitive and emotional states and behaviour. Taking a unique approach, the book is grounded in the work of Luria and follows a distinct structure that aims to describe a model of the functioning of the working brain. This model will explore the three parallel systems of information processing (somatic, sensory, and motor) and their hierarchal organization. Each of these systems will be described in terms of their neuroanatomy and function(s), before exploring the implications of compromise to each in relation to selected clinical conditions. Each chapter will also focus on a selected neuropsychological instrument which would be expected to be compromised as a result of impairment in the system in question. Packed full of student-friendly pedagogy, the book will include learning objectives, key terms, key readings, and interesting case studies.
