Cognitive Rehabilitation: An Integrative Neuropsychological Approach

This book gives a good review and information on the area of brain trauma and cognitive rehabilitation. Good for the new clinician as well as those who have been practicing for many years.

Sohlberg & Mateer are pioneers in the formalizing of cognitive rehabilitation. Before they came along with this text, clinicians were practicing based on principles of operant conditioning which has no place with this population.

This book has everything needed to make an excellent textbook to introduce clinicians to cognitive remediation. From the cognitive psychology underlying each technique to the learning principles so important to the efficacy of the approach to the adjuvant psychotherapy imperative to the success of the treatment, Sohlberg and Mateer present a thorough introduction to this form of therapy as it is clinically applied.

This book came right on time in brand new condition. Just what I needed, but a lot cheaper than the University Bookstore. Thank you!
