This revised edition of the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementia offers an updated comprehensive compilation of practical advice for professionals working in neuropsychology with older adults. The volume is divided into three sections, focusing on 1) fundamentals of neuropsychological assessment in aging, 2) special considerations and common issues relevant to conducting neuropsychological assessments in older adults, and 3) specific late-life cognitive disorders. Respected experts in the field address a wide range of presenting problems and elements essential to assessment and diagnosis. Throughout the book, coverage pays keen attention to detail, bringing real-world nuance to large-scale concepts and breaking down complex processes into digestible steps. And like its predecessor, the new Handbook features sample cases, recommendations for test batteries, and each chapter ends by extracting essential "clinical pearls." In addition to updated practice recommendations on topics covered in the first edition, 14 new chapters have been added covering topics such as : providing feedback in dementia, elder abuse identification and intervention, chronic pain in dementia, assessing postoperative cognitive changes, cognitive training and rehabilitation in aging, chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. The Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementia, 2nd Edition, offers a wealth of expert knowledge and hands-on guidance for neuropsychologists, gerontologists, social workers, and other clinicians interested in aging. This can be a valuable reference for those studying for board certification in neuropsychology as well as a resource for veteran practitioners brushing up on key concepts in neuropsychology of age related disorders.
