explores cutting-edge issues, such as considering the issue of medical marijuana from a neuropsychological perspective, understanding how living in various environments can affect brain structure and function, and conceptualizing the issue of drug use using emergent theories, such as behavioral economics.

This introduction to the developing field of neurobehavioral toxicology offers an evaluation of the ways in which toxins affect the human nervous system and behaviour.

This new editon sheds light on the ever-growing need for adequate neuropsychological assessment to a wider subset of individuals, crossing many cultural and minority barriers in the process.

Provides a comprehensive review of theory, research and clinical application of the cognitive reserve. Chapters in this volume explore the theoretical underpinnings of cognitive reserve, and evidence for its existence.

Substance use continues to be a major public health problem. On a yearly basis, the total economic cost of substance misuse is literally hundreds of billions of dollars. This book explores the cutting-edge issues. It is of interest to clinical neuropsychologists who require the findings in neuropsychology.

Written by clinicians and researchers, this book examines age-related considerations in the construction of test batteries and conduction of interviews, necessary test accommodations, the relationship between test results and neuroimaging findings, and more. It also lists resources to promote quality of life in the elderly and their families.

Written from an international perspective, this book presents a detailed discussion of the basic science of brain injury. It explains the treatments used in brain injury rehabilitation and covers various methods of rehabilitation. It is suitable for students from psychology, medicine, physical and occupational therapy.

Ethical Issues in Clinical Neuropsychology affords the seasoned practitioner as well as the beginner a broad sampling of research and commentary on the ethical dilemmas involved in the clinical practice of Neuropsychology.

Minority and cross-cultural psychology is more relevant now than ever in our diverse world. Given the dramatic local and global changes occurring daily with regard to demographics, population changes, and immigration issues, minority and cross-cultural psychology is fast becoming a respected and critical area of scientific study. Pair that with the fact that people of all cultures and racial groups are living longer and experiencing age-related diseases and disorders, one can easily see the need for additional work on issues related to neuropsychological assessment. This new edition brings to the forefront recent developments by seasoned experts in the field. They offer up their newest projects in minority and cross-cultural aspects of neuropsychological assessment and are joined by new, up-and-coming professionals across a wide array of disciplines including psychology, medicine, and neuropsychology. Like the first edition, this updated collection sheds light on the ever-growing need for adequate neuropsychological assessment to a wider subset of individuals, crossing many cultural and minority barriers in the process. Continuously pushing the boundaries of neuropsychological assessment, this collection is essential reading for cognitive and clinical psychologists, and neuropsychologists, and a model text for advanced courses dealing with minority and cross-cultural issues.
