Behavioural Approaches in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

Barbara A. Wilson, Camilla M. Herbert, Agnes Shiel

"This is an important and timely book that fills a gap in the literature. There are few other comparable texts that address the behavioural approach to rehabilitation at this level of detail. The material addresses clinical concerns as well as theoretical issues. It is supported by research evidence demonstrating the close links between clinical and research expertise."- Nadina Lincoln, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Nottingham, UK"This book will be a valuable and practical resource for clinical psychology trainees and for qualified clinical psychologists working with brain-injured clients. It provides an accessible framework and illustrative case material to guide practice for professionals working with neurological rehabilitation, including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, social workers, nurses and doctors."- Professor Jane Powell, Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths College, UK
