Evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies are described, and specific guidance is provided for linking neuropsychological evaluation to individualized treatment planning. Demonstrating an array of cognitive training, compensatory, and psychotherapeutic approaches, the volume shows how these can successfully be used to improve patients' functioning and quality of life.

I purchased the book because I had accepted a neuropsychology referral, being the only psychologist providing assessment in a rural area, and I did not have the training to arrive at a complete list of recommendation. Other sources helped me with the differential, but this book turned out to be an excellent resource not only for differential and prognosis, but also for making useful recommendations about such things as driving, external memory aides, family relationships, etc. The book may not be all that helpful to an expert gerontopsychologist, but I am a generalist clinical/assessment psychologist, and this text helped me arrive at meaningful recommendations. It would be very helpful to a trainee doing a gerontopsych rotation, or to a psychologist who is just starting an assessment practice, especially given the (cliche alert) aging population.
Awesome book, nicely written by their authors, easy reading and great balance between time invested and the knowledge it brings. A must read book for geriatric related areas.
I do not like e books when it comes to school books
