Opis

The importance of detailed examination and theoretical interpretation of the single case has been increasingly recognized in neuropsychology. This book brings together in one volume discussion of the classic cases which have shaped the way we think about the relationships between brain, behaviour and cognition.

Recenzje

This is a broad and fascinating collection of chapters which reveal (sometimes for the first time in English) early neuropsychological attempts to make sense of what still remain some of the most striking behavioural consequences of brain damage. The editors are to be congratulated for bringing together some of the leading specialists when covering the wide range of topics chosen. The book I suspect will have considerable appeal to a wide range of professional researchers, graduate students of neuroscience, teachers, therapists and clinicians. - Peter W. Halligan (University of Oxford)
