Reviews

<br> We are in a time of great medical advances in understanding and treating childhood medical conditions. This timely book, edited by two very experienced neuropsychologists, provides a comprehensive review of the implications of these advances for long term neuropsychological functioning. The book takes a much needed lifespan approach appealing to practitioners in both adult and child neuropsychology. What makes the book stand out is the quality of the contributors and the way the editors have ensured that the chapters are highly relevant, easy to read, and authoritative. I enjoyed reading it and will continue to use it as an important reference source. <br>-- Jonathan Reed, Child Neuropsychologist, co-editor, Child Neuropsychology: Concepts, Theory, and Practice, Recolo, London <br><p><br> This is an admirable addition to the pediatric neuropsychological literature. <br>Readers will relish the concise, coherent presentation, as well as the specific coverage of developmental trajectories for these diseases and disorders that cannot be found in other books. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars! -- DOODY'S<br><p><br>

For any professtionals who work with children with complex medical conditions, or who wish to understand the influence of these conditions upon the lifelong development of these individuals, this book will be a valuable resource.
