Now in its fourth edition, this classic endures because of its extraordinary contribution to neuropsychology; extraordinary because it is so necessary, comprehensive, and contemporary. With newly updated tests, norms, in-depth validity analyses, and meaningful commentary, the Compendium ranks among the most important and useful books a neuropsychologist should have. This is why it remains an enduring and contemporary classic. * Joel E. Morgan, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of the Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychology * The Compendium has been the primary reference for test description, administration, psychometrics, normative data, and clinical interpretation since it first appeared in 1991. It has become the foundational text in the library of every practicing neuropsychologist. Yet, this is not solely a test-based textbook; rather, it is a review of the psychometric status of the field. I cannot think of a better guide to knowing our tools. * Glenn Larrabee, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of Forensic Neuropsychology: A Scientific Approach * The Compendium is among the top three must-have textbooks for all neuropsychologists. It is the first book I turn to when I need information about a particular test. * Robin C. Hilsabeck, PhD, ABPP-CN, Past President, National Academy of Neuropsychology * A particularly important aspect to the fourth edition is that information is provided for each test regarding its use as a performance or symptom validity measure, in addition to its primary role as a source of neurocognitive information. * Kyle Brauer Boone, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of Clinical Practice of Forensic Neuropsychology: An Evidence-based Approach *
