Recenzje

Dr. Prigatano's book is valuable in its width, and it delivers readers insight into the multi-faceted nature of clinical neuropsychological work. The core arguments are clear, convincing, and well-reported. The insights are in accordance with the zeitgeist, but original in their essence. The book covers a wide variety of theory and clinical work. Mind-brain relations are described throughout the life span according to recent scientific advances. Rehabilitation practices are viewed in accordance with modern demands with the core theme of psychological care in any brain disorder. Interactional process is emphasized with alliance, trust rapport, and resilience as adjusting means to altered life situations. The text offers working guidelines for professionals as well as students in the field."
