This clinical reference offers an advanced discussion of the neuropsychological impact and features of the various forms of psychopathology. Focus is on the neuropathological and pathophysiological bases of these disorders, although psychosocial and environmental contributions will also be highlighted. In addition, this text discusses the application of neuropsychological practice within these clinical groupings, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.
