Books in the Special Issues of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation series

Shows how cognitive rehabilitation approaches can be applied, in different ways, to help optimise functioning and address specific difficulties across the spectrum of severity. This issue seeks both to provide information about what has already been achieved and to encourage and stimulate further progress.

A useful reference for both those caring for people in vegetative conditions as well as for those investigating the physiological basis of human consciousness.

This special issue brings together developments in neurological, psychological and social understanding of sense of self and identity in neuropsychological rehabilitation.

Encephalitis - inflammation of the brain - has significant cognitive, behavioural and emotional consequences. This book describes the pathway of recovery following encephalitis from medical management to assessment, rehabilitation and community support and advocacy.

This volume is mainly based upon contributions presented at a workshop on the relationships between cognitive neuropsychology and aphasia rehabilitation.

Provides an opportunity to characterise some of the key clinical issues concerned with assessing and managing pathologies of subjective or conscious awareness. This work provides the theoretical platform to inform assessments and justify interventions aimed at compensating for, and/or reducing the functional consequences of, impaired awareness.

Communication and information technology has been used to support older and disabled people for over 30 years and there have been many successes in this field. This title considers the use of technology in cognitive rehabilitation.

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation explores the potential of information technology to provide support for people with cognitive dysfunction.

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation brings together seven newly published studies from a range of invited international researchers in the fields of language and memory disorders and their rehabilitation.

This Special Issues includes state-of-the art reviews, written by research leaders, of Non-Invasive Brain-Stimulation (NIBS) techniques for the cognitive rehabilitation of disorders of memory, language, perception, attention and executive functions. Enhancing cognitive functions and the effects of concurrent cognitive rehabilitation through NIBS is a promising field for translational and clinical research. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES), modulate behaviour through effects on neural excitability, and plasticity. tES is a low-cost and safe method, that can be used in a variety of conditions, both in the hospital and home-based. The Special Issue is a highly recommended reading for neurologists and psychologists.

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation provides an opportunity to characterise some of the key clinical issues concerned with assessing and managing pathologies of subjective or conscious awareness.
