APA Handbook of Neuropsychology: Volume 1: Neurobehavioral Disorders and Conditions: Accepted Science and Open Questions Volume 2: Neuroscience and Neuromethods (APA Handbooks in Psychology Series)

A comprehensive two-volume set, the APA Handbook of Neuropsychology provides foundational information on neuropsychology, identifies pressing research questions related to neuropsychological disorders and conditions, offers updates on methods to investigate these issues, and aims to shape the field amp rsquo s future development.

Volume , Neurobehavioral Disorders and Conditions: Accepted Science and Open Questions, aids clinicians and researchers in updating their understanding of disordered brain function and addresses questions regarding neurobehavioral disorders, such as amnesia, and clinical conditions, such as Alzheimer amp rsquo s disease. Taking a lifespan approach, chapters in Volume include a section on accepted neuropsychological science and a section on important issues for future research.

Volume 2, Neuroscience and Neuromethods, focuses on neuroscience, brain imaging methods, and advanced statistical models needed to investigate the questions raised in Volume , as well as treatment paradigms to guide future interventions. Chapters aim to stimulate innovative assessment and intervention methods. 

The chapters serve as an invaluable resource for the expanding field of neuropsychology. Clinicians, researchers, students, and scholars can use this handbook to gain a foundational understanding of neuropsychology and to further advance the field themselves.
