Now in its Fifth Edition, Neuropsychological Assessment reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction and injury. This is the 35th anniversary of the landmark first edition. As with previous editions, this edition provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of adult clinical neuropsychology in a single source. By virtue of the authors' clinical and research specializations, this book provides a broad-based and in-depth coverage of current neuroscience research and clinical neuropsychology practice. While the new edition is updated to include new features and topics, it remains true to the highly-regarded previous editions. Methods for obtaining optimum data are given in the form of hypothesis-testing techniques, clinical tips, and clinical examples. In the seven years since the previous edition, many advancements have been made in techniques for examining brain function and in our knowledge about brain-behavior relationships. For example, a surge of functional imaging data has emerged and new structural imaging techniques have provided exquisite detail about brain structure. For the first time, this edition includes examples of these advancements, many in stunning color. This edition also includes new tools for clinicians such as a neuroimaging primer and a comparison table of the neuropsychological features of progressive dementias. The chapters on assessment procedures include discussion of issues related to test selection and reviews of recently published as well as older test batteries used in general neuropsychological assessment, plus newly developed batteries for specific issues.

I conduct neuropsychological assessment with adults and wanted an updated version of the Lezak classic text. This book is very comprehensive and packed with information relevant to the topic. It weighs 8 pounds, so is a bit hefty to put on your lap and read, but it is worth it . It is interesting to read and I have been reading some of it every night, often picking up some more subtle aspects of assessment that I am grateful to be aware of. For individual tests, especially the better researched and most often used tests, it gives a lot of detailed information , as well as sources for updated normative data, which is very helpful. I know that
neuropsychologists often consider this the "bible" of this type of assessment.

A large book that covers neuroanatomy and neuropsychological assessment extensively and in a reasonably easy-to-read manner. Suitable for beginners only if they have a particular interest and are willing to devote a lot of study time to the book.
