Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book contains a wealth of information that will be valuable to any clinician, student or researcher who is working with people who have sustained damage to the right side of their brain. The book is a pleasure to read and it is difficult to generate anything but positive criticism of it. It is essential for any clinician or researcher. It is accessible enough for students to read, but is sufficiently comprehensive and is extensively referenced to satisfy the more demanding reader." -- Aphasiology

"Inspires the reader with new treatment models and promotes research that is sensitive to the clinical realities of the disorders following RHD. It is a useful clinical text for every clinician involved in the management of patients with RHD, and carries up-to-date reviews and references for those who may have more research-oriented interest in this field." --Brain

Thanks for allowing me to save money on a textbook I'm only going to use once but have on my shelf for a lifetime. Usually I don't like having textbooks already marked up, but it was kind of nice having important sections already highlighted. Thanks!
