    This updated new edition summarizes the latest developments in cognitive neuroscience related to rehabilitation, reviews the principles of successful interventions and synthesizes new findings about the rehabilitation of cognitive changes in a variety of populations. With greatly expanded sections on treatment and the role of imaging, it provides a comprehensive reference for those interested in the science, as well as including the most up-to-date information for the practicing clinician. It provides clear and practical guidance on cognitive rehabilitation's effectiveness, and the latest research and clinical directions.

    • Covers the topics important to cognitive rehabilitation, from basic anatomy and chemistry to methods, and from techniques to psychosocial considerations
    • Emphasizes evidence based procedures; a strong emphasis on the scientific approach to rehabilitation
    • Includes updated reviews of the principles underlying successful rehabilitation, the methods and values of imaging, and new rehabilitation methods

    Reviews & endorsements

    "Targeted at clinicians involved in the hands-on rehabilitation of patients with neurological damage, particularly neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, and physicians....easy to read and reference, thanks to frequent subsections with bulleted points and a concluding section at the end of each chapter.....Overall, this second edition provides a fruitful review of the state of neurorehabilitation techniques."
