Pediatric neuropsychology is the practice of understanding and
elucidating brain-behavior relationships as applied to children and
adolescents. This 2007 volume examines trends in the assessment and
treatment of common disorders including traumatic brain injuries,
brain tumors, epilepsy, and autistic spectrum disorders. Its primary
aim is to help practitioners and researchers identify and understand
the evidence to support interventions with a range of acquired or
congenital neuropsychological disorders. The text is divided into
three sections. Section one provides a foundation by considering
general issues relevant to assessment and treatment in pediatric
neuropsychology. Section two guides practitioners in their approach to
the use of interventions in a range of conditions and disorders, and
the book closes with a section focusing on medical and experimental
initiatives with an emphasis on interdisciplinary issues. This book is
essential reading for pediatric neuropsychologists, child clinical
psychologists and school psychologists, as well as pediatric
neurologists and psychiatrists.
