La neuropsicología infantil ayuda a comprender mejor el desarrollo de los niños en general y en particular a mejorar la evaluación e intervención psicológica en la infancia. Pero la gran cantidad y velocidad de aparición de ámbitos de intervención y problemáticas clínicas dificulta la aplicación de los conocimientos. De ahí que la tradicional organización en manuales por problemáticas específicas (síndromes del neurodesarrollo, dificultades de aprendizaje, daño cerebral) ya no se adapte tan bien a la amplia realidad clínica existente.Esta obra, basada en una revisión exhaustiva de la evidencia empírica, ofrece una actualización fiable de los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos sobre la intervención terapéutica en neuropsicología infantil, estructurándolos por ámbitos de intervención (cognitivo-conductual, socio-emocional, de la vida diaria y académica), con el fin de favorecer su uso clínico en la práctica diaria y su adaptación a las necesidades individuales de cada caso mediante la presentación adicional de numerosos casos clínicos.

Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Children and Adolescents provides rehabilitation professionals in all areas of rehabilitation with a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for treatment of brain-injured children and adolescents. The book begins with an explanation of the pathophysiology of closed head injury and its typical consequences, leads the reader through various clinical intervention and therapeutic techniques, and concludes with guidelines for re-integrating the child into school, family, and work communities. Drawing upon the authors' backgrounds in speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and neurology, the book presents a thorough discussion of all areas of head injury rehabilitation.

The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach tothe WAIS?-III Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text fromAlan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently providedthe most comprehensive source of information on cognitiveassessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated ThirdEdition provides important enhancements and additions thathighlight the latest research and interpretive methods for theWAIS?-III. Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous"WAIS?-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new approachderived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This approachcombines normative assessment (performance relative to age peers)with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the person's ownmean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to develop asimilar CHC approach for the WISC?-IV, Kaufman and Lichtenbergerhave applied this system to the WAIS?-III profile of scores alongwith integrating recent WAIS?-III literature. Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to adetailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretiveworksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisionsneeded for applying the additional steps of the new system, andnorms tables for the new WAIS?-III subtest combinations added inthis approach. Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premierresource for the field, covering not only the WAIS?-III but alsothe WJ III?, the KAIT, and several brief measures of intelligence,as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date discussion of thediscipline. The new, theory-based interpretive approach for theWAIS?-III makes this a vital resource for practicing psychologists,as well as a comprehensive text for graduate students.
