Biography

Rodney D. Vanderploeg

"This is a 'must have' book if you are a clinical neuropsychologist in training in North America. There is material in the book that will also be of considerable interest to a wider audience, in particular the chapters on interviewing and testing, principles of neuropsychological interoperation, report writing, and neuropsychometric issues and problems. The chapters advocating flexible versus fixed battery approaches are well worth reading by inexperienced and experienced neuropsychologists alike, irrespective of their homeland."
—Cortex

"...comprehensive and extremely useful for practitioners working in the area of neuropsychology....likely to be of value not only to neuropsychologists as well as forensic psychologists and expert witnesses, but students training in this area."
—Medico-Legal Journal

Review of the first edition: "...a worthy addition to any clinician's (as well as researcher's) bookshelf."
—The Psychological Record

Review of the first edition: "...highly recommended as a [supplement in graduate courses]....Unique among neuropsychology texts, it should actually elicit comment and debate among students."
—Contemporary Psychology
