520 # # |a This book offers practitioners a hands-on guide to bedrock clinical tasks. The first half of the volume addresses special considerations for conducting neuropsychological assessments of older adults, such as disease management issues, sleep concerns, and ethical matters. The second section illuminates symptoms and issues associated with specific disorders and their relationship to functional impairments. Information is presented in a practitioner friendly format with sample cases, test battery recommendations, and <U+001c>clinical pearls from recognized experts in the field. Among the Handbook<U+0019>s topics: ʺ Serial assessments in dementia. ʺ Considerations for neuropsychological evaluations with older minority patients. ʺ Impact of medications on cognition. ʺ Assessing depression and anxiety in older adults. ʺ Prevention of cognitive decline. ʺ Plus in-depth chapters on late-life cognitive impairment resulting from Alzheimer<U+0019>s disease, vascular cognitive impairment, cancer, stroke, epilepsy, and a variety of other conditions. Useful and informative well beyond its immediate specialty, the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementia is a practical reference for neuropsychologists, neurologists, primary care physicians (geriatricians, internists, family doctors), health psychologists, clinical psychologists, and clinical social workers.
