Reviews

The second edition of Pediatric Neuropsychology continues with the splendid tradition of the first edition. The volume will serve professionals and students alike who need to increase their understanding of the neuropsychological aspects of specific medical or neurodevelopmental disorders. The quality of each chapter is exceptional. Kudos to Yeates, Ris, Taylor, and Pennington! This is an excellent, evidence-based read. - Stephen R. Hooper, Associate Director, Clinical Center for the Study of Development and Learning, University of North Carolina School of Medicine Since its original publication, this volume has truly set the standard for the field of pediatric neuropsychology. The second edition highlights how the field has grown over the past decade, not only in terms of assessment and research regarding cognitive deficits, but especially with regard to developmental and psychosocial outcome trajectories. It features incisive new chapters on developmental disorders and a greater integration of an interdisciplinary neuroscience perspective. This book is beyond doubt the 'go-to' text for graduate coursework and postdoctoral training in pediatric neuropsychology, and deserves a prominent place in the bookcase of even the most seasoned practitioner. - Jacobus Donders, Chief Psychologist, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan This valuable work not only covers the field comprehensively, but also highlights areas of unresolved controversy, and includes suggestions for future research. It will be useful for all professionals who work with children. In my upcoming course on neuropsychology and education, this book will be at the top of the reference list. - Martha Bridge Denckla, Director, Developmental Cognitive Neurology, Kennedy Krieger Institute; Professor of Neurology, John Hopkins University School of Medicine

Author Information

Keith Owen Yeates, PhD, ABPP-CN, is the Ronald and Irene Ward Chair in Pediatric Brain Injury, Professor and Head of the Department of Psychology, and Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His influential research focuses on the outcomes of childhood brain disorders, especially traumatic brain injury (TBI). A recently published bibliometric analysis indicates that Dr. Yeates has authored more of the top 100 most-cited papers in pediatric TBI than any other researcher. Dr. Yeates is the inaugural Chair of the Canadian Concussion Network and is Editor-in-Chief of Neuropsychology. He has served as President of the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology (Division 40 of the American Psychological Association) and the International Neuropsychological Society. M. Douglas Ris, PhD, ABPP-CN, is Professor and Head of the Psychology Section in the Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine. He is also Chief of the Psychology Service at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. Previously, he founded and directed the Neuropsychology Program and the Pediatric Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. His research interests include the neurodevelopmental effects of exposure to environmental lead and late effects in pediatric brain tumors. H. Gerry Taylor, PhD, ABPP-CN, is Professor of Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University and Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, University Hospitals of Cleveland. Dr. Taylor is a pediatric neuropsychologist with a background in clinical assessment of children. His research aims to better understand the effects of early neurological risks on the child and family, the neurological basis of developmental problems, and the influences of social and environmental factors on outcome. Bruce F. Pennington, PhD, is a John Evans Professor of Psychology at the University of Denver, where he heads the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Program. He has conducted research for over 30 years on the genetics and neuropsychology of developmental disorders, including dyslexia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and intellectual disability syndromes. He is also a child neuropsychologist and has been active in clinical training and practice throughout his career.
