Reviews
This book is precise, well organized, and easy to follow. It covers the main topics of concern to clinicians and families, and the sequence is logical and clear. Sohlberg and Mateer have a real gift for explaining difficult concepts in ways that make them seem completely understandable and sensible. In addition to these strengths, the book's balanced perspective and solid theoretical grounding really make it stand out among others in this area. --Jill Winegardner, PhD, Neuropsychology Consultant, Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz, California <br> Like the authors' original seminal text, this volume provides a systematic, practical framework that is clearly referenced to contemporary theory and research. In addition to up-to-date information on cognitive rehabilitation, the volume is enhanced by chapters on behavioral and emotional disorders, the special needs of children, and mild brain injury. In all areas, current best practices are described and accompanied by an extensive array o
Sohlberg and Mateer's 1989 book, Introduction to Cognitive Rehabilitation, provided one of the first comprehensive and theoretically based yet practical textbooks in the relatively new field of cognitive rehabilitation of individuals with acquired brain injury. This new book of theirs gives us once again an innovative perspective on the field. Although the emphasis on cognitive rehabilitation is maintained, the new text is considerably wider in scope and presents excellent discussions of other important contextual issues surrounding rehabilitation, including emotional and behavioral issues, working with families, and environmental / technological influences....I enthusiastically recommend this text to practicing rehabilitation specialists, academics, and trainees. It brings the field of cognitive rehabilitation to a new level of expertise and provides a stepping stone for the further evolution of the discipline. -- Canadian Psychology <br> <br>, .. a well-organized, well-written, comprehensive text that will bring the clinician up-to-date on advances in the field....contains a great deal of useful and easily accessible information and is the best book I have read on this topic. I highly recommend it for all health care professionals and students who work in rehabilitation settings, including psychologists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and program administrators. -- Psychiatric Services <br> <br> This is an excellent book, providing insights into neuropsychology and into the cognitive rehabilitation of clients....The book combines technical knowledge with insights intotreatment strategies. It is an excellent book, dealing with topics that many mental health professionals have had limited training in or have not pursued, even though we might readily have to deal with a client whose problems stem from problems of neuropsychology. This book gives us an excellent understanding of a wide variety of issues related to cognitive rehabilitation of neuropsychology problems. -- American Journal of Psychiatry <br> <br> People working in rehabilitation will appreciate this book, which is a follow up to the influential Introduction to cognitive rehabilitation, by the same authors that appeared in 1989....Even experienced practitioners will benefit from the many tips and guidelines that occur with such regularity throughout the text. Relative newcomers to the area will find the book even more useful. -- Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry <br>
