Recenzje

'This book is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers in the field of neuropsychology. It provides information that will help to transform the process approach from an observational method to an empirically validated methodology. It gives new meaning to the distinction between 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' techniques for evaluating brain-behavior relationships.' - William B. Barr, Chief of Neuropsychology, Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, New York University School of Medicine
