Böcker i National Academy of Neuropsychology: Series on Evidence-Based Practices-serien

In Neuropsychological Aspects of Substance Use Disorders, internationally recognized experts provide clinicians with a translational overview of basic research and treatment findings regarding addictions, neuropsychological and neurological sequalae of the most common substances of abuse.

Clinical neuropsychologists are increasingly involved in the evaluation of civil capacities. This volume reviews the empirical literature on several of these civil capacities and provides a variety of practical, evidenced-based applications to improve neuropsychological consulting and report writing.

This exciting new, evidence-based book provides clinicians with a single source for considering the impact of secondary factors on cognitive dysfunction in neurological patients. The influence on testing of depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain, diagnosis threat, and symptom invalidity are all considered in the context of particular neurological disorders.

Introduction to Clinical Cultural Neuroscience aims to provide clinicians and researchers with an overview of contemporary topics relevant to the study of culture in psychology and neuroscience. While comprehensive volumes dedicated to cultural or cross-cultural psychology, cultural neuropsychology, and cultural neuroscience are readily available, the accumulated theoretical and empirical findings remain relatively sequestered within each of those academicsubspecialties.

Evidence-based practice facilitates the identification of clinically relevant research findings with strong scientific validity. Written by some of the foremost experts in the field, this volume shows clinical neuropsychologists how to undertake evidence-based practice and to conduct critical appraisal of published research on diagnostic tests or treatments for neuropsychological disorders to find the best evidence for any specific patient needs.
