  • Description: <jats:p>This handbook is an extensive reference source for clinical neuropsychology. It emerged from a 1988 Italian text and has mostly Italian contributors. The book is well organized and well written. The chapters include both theoretical thinking about and anatomic correlates of neuropsychological disorders in addition to their clinical features. This reviewer particularly liked the numerous theoretical discussions. Animal or cognitive experiments generally are not discussed. The topics cover current thinking in most areas and it is exceptionally well referenced with over 5000 citations.</jats:p>
