Continuing significant advances in the understanding of brain-behavior relationships have necessitated a new edition of this highly acclaimed text. For the third edition, several chapters have been completely rewritten, and the rest have been completely revised in light of recent developments. A new chapter on the neuropsychology of schizophrenia has been added. This well-established work remains the best available source for clinical descriptions of behavioral and intellectual disorders that clearly have a neurological origin. The book describes all the major neurobehavioral disorders of adults, including aphasia, alexia, agraphia, agnosia, apraxia, amnesic disorders, dementia, and others. In addition to providing a detailed clinical description, the contributing authors discuss methods of diagnosis and treatment, and consider the pathophysiology and neurological mechanisms underlying these disorders. The practical clinical approach presented in this volume will be invaluable to neurologists, psychologists, speech pathologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals who treat patients suffering from neuropsychological disorders.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In 1996, The Clinical Neuropsychologist journal published the results of its survey of the members of the American Board of Professional Psychology Diplomates. They were asked to propose a list of "Essential Books and Journals in North American Clinical Neuropsychology". Out of 162 titles, Heilman and Valenstein's Clinical Neuropsychology was ranked second!
"Its great strength lies in its completeness and authoritative coverage. Several of the chapters may be regarded as definitive....One is hard put to think of an important theoretical development or relevant experimental finding not covered by these reviews...Clinical Neuropsychology is the best review of the subject to date. Familiarity with its contents is essential for the clinician specializing in deficits of cortical function, and it will make a valuable reference work for any neurologist who has no ready access to such a specialist."--The New England Journal of Medicine
"Very well written, interesting, thorough, and scholarly."--American Journal of Psychiatry
"Heilman and Valenstein set out to provide their readers with a comprehensive review of clinical neuropsychological syndromes within the pages of a single book, and they succeed remarkable well....There is little to criticize in this fine work. Each chapter is clear, scholarly, and comprehensive."--Contemporary Psychology
"Presents clear explanations of the major neuropsychological syndromes, how they are differentiated on from another, and the research findings related to each syndrome."--Hospital and Community Psychiatry
"Without question, the most important source for detailed descriptions of the classical syndromes....[It] continues to be a key resource."--Annals of Neurology
"Remains unequaled in providing rich yet encyclopedic descriptions of various neuropsychological syndromes. There are enough important updates and revisions in this new edition that those who already own the second edition should strongly consider adding the third edition to their bookshelves."--Contemporary Psychology
