This remarkable new book provides a unique, practical guide to cognitive testing for clinicians. Incorporating the enormous advances in the understanding of cognitive function over the past decade, the author - himself a practising behavioural neurologist - presents the theory behind cognitive assessment and advocates a practical approach to testing. Twelve case histories illustrate this pragmatic approach and tips on physical examination are presented making this an invaluable aid to bedside assessment.
