Summary: An excellent and scientifically informed resource
Review: The Handbook is an excellent and scientifically informed resource for practicing neuropsychologists. Each author is an expert in the field and they have assembled a wonderful complement to several other primary texts inthe field. This is a must-read / must-have for any practitioner or consumer of neuropsycholgical services.

Review: This Author is nothing more than a person posturing herself for expert witness status. This book is just one more way she is attempting to legitimize herself in order to earn the thousands of dollars earned as a expert witness in court. Of course this is me exersicing my first amemdment right to my free speach and opinion.

Summary: Excellent Reference - a must have!
Review: This is a terrific addition for practicing neuropsycologists. The authors have really done their homework and it is clearly evident that they are excellent scholars. Each of the NP tests reviewed in this book, which is by no means an exhaustive review of all NP tests, is a tour de force of literature review, critical analysis, and recommendations. The reader is struck by the huge amount of research that the authors did, and the work that went into such integration. I don't think this norm reference, however, can stand alone, notwithstanding its excellence, since it presents a selection of NP tests and does not try to be all inclusive. But rest assured that those tests discussed are presented comprehensively. Practicing neuropsychologists will also want Spreen & Strauss, as well as regular updated norms of other tests. But this text goes a long way in helping to solve the 'norms problem' in contemporary clinical neuropsychology. A must have!
