Reviews

An Assessment Guide to Geriatric Neuropsychology is going to be a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers working with adults over the age of 65. In many respects the book is similar to Lezak's classic Neuropsychological Assessment and to Spreen and Strauss' Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests, but is restricted to older adults. It contains a very comprehensive description of the major neuropsychological instruments available for geriatric assessment, along with detailed norms for elderly adults when they are available. Most of this information is not readily available in other sources, and thus the book will likely be widely used, and appreciated, by those who work with elderly populations. -Timothy Salthouse, PhD Georgia Institute of Technology
