Neuropsychological Interventions
Clinical Research and Practice
Edited by Paul J. Eslinger
Neuropsychological rehabilitation is increasingly recognized as an
essential component of health care for brain-injured patients. Yet at a time of rapid
growth in the field, many questions remain about the optimal structure and content of
clinical services and the efficacy of particular interventions. This volume reviews the
state of the science of neuropsychological interventions, describing the ideas and methods
that underlie treatment development and evaluation. A framework for multidimensional
rehabilitation services is established in chapters from an array of leading clinical
investigators. Weighing the strengths and limitations of existing work, and identifying
promising directions for new clinical applications, the book provides vital knowledge for
anyone working in or studying this dynamic area of practice.
