Spatial Neglect: A Clinical Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment by Peter W. Hal

Description: Spatial Neglect by Peter W. Halligan, Ian Robertson The last ten years have witnessed an explosion of interest in spatial neglect, no longer viewed as a single entity, but rather as a number of different disorders. This book brings the reader up to date with the latest advances in understanding neglect insofar as this contributes to better clinical assessment, management and treatment. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Spatial neglect is a profound clinical problem as well as intriguing scientific problem. In the last ten years, there has been an explosion of interest in this disorder, which as a result is no longer viewed as a single entity, but rather as a number of different disorders. This book is an attempt to bring the reader up to date with the latest advances in understanding neglect, at least insofar as this contributes to better clinical assessment, management and treatment. This is not a book for the specialist researcher in the neuropsychology of neglect and attention. Rather, it is a book aimed at clinicians - student and trained - from all disciplines involved in the assessment, management and treatment of neglect.The book begins with the description of four cases manifesting different types of unilateral neglect. The reader is introduced to different aspects of neglect through these patients. These distinctions include those between personal and extrapersonal neglect, motor versus sensory neglect and many others. The reader is also introduced to other phenomena that are closely related to neglect, including ansognosia and impaired sustained attention. The latest methodes of assessment of neglect are also described, as are methods of treatment, again with reference to the four introductory specimen cases.

Review This monograph admirably fulfills its mission, which is to provide a succinct but comprehensive overview of the clinical assessment and rehabilitation of neglect disorders. - Mark E. McCourt, North Dakota State University, in JINS, Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society Review Quote Fulfils its subtitle admirably ... it is well organised, up-to-date, and clearly reflects its authors considerable clinical experience. - John C. Marshall, The Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford This is an excellent book, simply and clearly written, yet covering a large amount of clinically relevant material ... Overall I found it informative and very directly applicable to clinical practice. I think Robertson and Halligan are to be congratulated on explaining such a complex field with such clarity. I think this book will make a significant contribution to the management of stroke patients in clinical practice. - Nadina Lincoln, University of Nottingham Details ISBN0863778097 Short Title SPATIAL NEGLECT Language English ISBN-10 0863778097 ISBN-13 9780863778094 Media Book Format Hardcover Year 1999 Imprint Psychology Press Ltd Subtitle A Clinical Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment Place of Publication Hove Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 616.8 Illustrations illustrations Edition 1st Author Ian Robertson DOI 10.1604/9780863778094 UK Release Date 1999-08-19 AU Release Date 1999-08-19 NZ Release Date 1999-08-19 Pages 172 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Series Brain, Behaviour and Cognition Publication Date 1999-08-19 Alternative 9780863778100 Audience Undergraduate We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
