Reed and Warner-Rogers have made a substantial contribution to the development of child neuropsychology, which has suffered a dearth of comprehensive texts, in this broad-ranging, well-conceived and authoritative volume. Professor J Graham Beaumont, Department of Clinical Psychology, Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, London For me, they have more than succeeded in meeting their goals for combining science and practice, staying academically grounded but accessible, and powerfully presenting the case for the necessary focus on developmental variables. The text is both fascinating and readable throughout. Jane Holmes Bernstein Ph. D., Department of Psychiatry, Children's Hospital Boston / Harvard Medical School A valuable addition to the libraries of pediatric/child neuropsychologists. It takes a somewhat different and refreshing approach as compared to existing texts, focusing on neurobehavioral functions rather than clinical disorders. The book places a strong emphasis on clinical translation and application that should appeal to practitioners, but is firmly grounded in state-of-the-art theory and research. Professor Keith Yeates, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Research Institute, Ohio State University Here in a single volume, the reader will find material about key concepts of child development, summaries of current theory, and recommendations for clinical practice with most of the disorders commonly seen by pediatric neuropsychologists. Whether read as the textbook for a course or bought as a self-study aid, practitioners new to the field will find this material invaluable, while experienced professionals will surely appreciate the well-edited chapters that will quickly bring them 'up to speed' on recent advances. This is an immensely useful book that should be a part of every pediatric neuropsychologist's library. Steve Hughes, PhD, LP, ABPdN, Director of Education and Research, The TOVA Company
