Zusammenfassung
This new volume provides a comprehensive overview of this fast-evolving field. More than a revised edition, the text reflects the dramatic impact of recent advances in neuroscience and computer science.

Replacing the authors' previous work, "Introduction of Cognitive Rehabilitation", this new text reflects the impact of recent advances in neuroscience and computer technology, coupled with changes in service delivery models. The authors describe a broad range of clinical interventions for assisting persons with acquired cognitive impairments and for managing associated emotional and behavioral issues.

This book is precise, well organized, and easy to follow. It covers the main topics of concern to clinicians and families, and the sequence is logical and clear. Sohlberg and Mateer have a real gift for explaining difficult concepts in ways that make them seem completely understandable and sensible. In addition to these strengths, the book's balanced perspective and solid theoretical grounding really make it stand out among others in this area. --Jill Winegardner, PhD, Neuropsychology Consultant, Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz, California Like the authors' original seminal text, this volume provides a systematic, practical framework that is clearly referenced to contemporary theory and research. In addition to up-to-date information on cognitive rehabilitation, the volume is enhanced by chapters on behavioral and emotional disorders, the special needs of children, and mild brain injury. In all areas, current best practices are described and accompanied by an extensive array of worksheets, assessment and monitoring tools, and other useful supporting materials. Sohlberg and Mateer have once again produced the premier text in the area. It belongs within arm's reach of any professional or student in disciplines providing post-acute brain injury rehabilitation services. --James F. Malec, PhD, Professor and Director of NIDRR Traumatic Brain Injury Model System, Mayo Clinic and FoundationThis is probably the best book on neurobehavioral remediation on the market. It is grounded in the neuro- and cognitive sciences while based on the authors' extensive rehabilitation experiences. The science is sound; the methodology is practical, effective, and respectful of the patient's dignity and well-being; and the coverage of conditions and issues is comprehensive and up to date. Students and practitioners alike will profit from the knowledge, technical advice, and practical admonitions these experienced and insightful clinicians provide. --Muriel D. Lezak, PhD, Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Oregon Health Sciences University -
