Clinical neuropsychology is a rapidly evolving specialty whose practitioners serve persons with traumatic brain injury, stroke and other vascular impairments, brain tumors, epilepsy and nonepileptic seizure disorders, developmental disabilities, progressive neurological disorders, HIV- and AIDS-related disorders, and dementia, to name some of the diseases and disorders in neuropsychology's purview. Services include evaluation, treatment, and case consultation in child, adult, and the expanding geriatric population in both medical and educational settings. The clinical goal always is to restore and maximize cognitive and psychological functioning in an injured or compromised brain. Most neuropsychology reference books focus primarily on assessment and diagnosis, and to date none has been in encyclopedia format. Clinicians, patients, and family members recognize that evaluation and diagnosis is only a starting point for the treatment and recovery process. During the past decade, in order to address the long-term needs of patients, there has been a proliferation of programs, both hospital- and clinic-based, that provide rehabilitation services.This encyclopedia will serve as a unified, comprehensive reference for professionals involved in the diagnosis, evaluation, and rehabilitation of persons with neuropsychological disorders.
