Child Neuropsychology guides therapists and neurologists toward common goals: early, accurate diagnosis and finely focused interventions across disciplines. By analyzing the affects of brain development on children and adolescents¡¯ behavioral, cognitive, learning, and psychosocial abilities and deficits, this groundbreaking volume brings vital perspectives to assessment and treatment. Leading experts Ellison and Semrud-Clikeman start with the basics of child clinical neuropsychology and functional neuroanatomy, taking readers through examination protocols and assessment instruments to treatment planning and methods.

In this volume, the authors address the full range of neurodevelopmental pathologies, from learning disabilities to autism, ADHD to CNS disorders, traumatic brain injury to fetal alcohol syndrome. Child Neuropsychology demonstrates an integrated transactional model of rehabilitation and intervention strategies, showing how families and school personnel can collaborate with mental health and medical professionals for effective therapy with lasting results. Inside this volume, readers will discover:

Comprehensive overviews of the effects of biogenic and environmental factors on brain development.

An in-depth guide to assessment batteries and diagnostic procedures.

An integrative framework modeling targeted collaborative intervention.

Discussions of effective medical, behavioral, and social/educational treatments.

Richly detailed case studies applying the authors¡¯ methods to child and teen-aged clients with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, TBI, and seizure disorders.

Valuable tables, charts, and reference lists.

For clinical child practitioners as well as for advanced students, Child Neuropsychology contains the essential tools needed to meet the complex challenges of diagnosing and treating brain-based illnesses.

Review:

Neuropsychological Bias

The author presents a very biased view of child neuropsychology.
She omits many relevant research findings especially in the area
of neurometrics and presents a very narrow scientific base focusing
on only a few relevant researchers. There are also many errors
with regard to factual information and little cohesiveness in
bringing together research findings. Some of the real pioneers
in neuropsychological research have been omitted.

Review:

Typos and some inaccuracies

The book has more typos than any text I've ever purchased and includes some important inaccuracies (e.g., Prozac is referred to as an MAOI). Despite these things, the book provides some good general information, but the reader certainly gets the sense that the book was hurriedly thrown together without a good proofread, first.

Review:

Not very in-depth

This book was a nice overview of pediatric neuropsychology, but I found it quite shallow in terms of practical information. I found myself thinking "yeah, I know all that, now get to the meat."

A nice start for the beginner, but don't buy this thinking that you will get details of how to actually do pediatric neuropsychology.

Review:

Excellent!!!

This book is an excellent resource. The text flows smoothly even in the technical areas. I've enjoyed reading it over and over again!

Review:

Excellent Resource

Teeter and Semrud-Clikeman have developed a first-rate resource for students and practitioners in the field of child neuropsychology. They provide a comprehensive overview of various assessment techniques, and the research presented is state of the art. Very highly recommended.
