Biography

Josef Zihl is Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Munich, and Head of the Research group Neuropsychology at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany.

I thought the first edition of this book was excellent. The second is even better." - Jonathan Evans, Professor of Applied Neuropsychology, University of Glasgow, UK
