Neuropsychological Tools for Dementia: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment

Autor Helmut Hildebrandt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2020
Neuropsychological Tools for Dementia: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment takes a unique approach by combining the neuroscientific background of neuropsychology, neuropsychological tools for diagnosis and disease staging, and neuropsychological treatment into one comprehensive book for researchers and clinicians. Sections present an introduction to neuropsychological assessment in dementias, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia (alpha-synucleinopathies), atypical Parkinson’s diseases (tauopathies), language and behavioral variants of frontotemporal lobe degeneration, and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Each chapter elucidates the point that neuropsychological measures provide the tools to differentiate disease-specific impairments from normal age-related cognitive decline, and from other neurodegenerative diseases.
Moreover, the book discusses the possibility of helping patients through neuropsychological intervention. Case studies aid in the reader’s comprehension of the field, and two short guidelines for each disease’s specific assessment and treatment prepare readers for handling real-life patients.


  • Includes epidemiological information regarding dementia
  • Demonstrates the use of neuropsychological tests and screening tools in diagnosing and differentiating patients with dementia
  • Outlines which investigation strategy and neuropsychological tests work best for assessing patients for different neurodegenerative diseases
  • Reviews specific interventions to slow the progress of dementia wherever possible
  • Discusses the neuropathology, diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

Recenzii

"As a review of the major neurodegenerative diseases, this book is a good resource. Beyond that, it is best suited to a German audience, primarily those seeking guidance for working with dementia patients. An alternate consideration for this audience is Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Definitions, Diagnosis, and Treatment, Smith and Bondi (Oxford University Press, 2013)." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2020, Christopher J Graver, PhD, ABPP-CN, reviewer, expert opinion
"Altogether, this book provides results of several recent studies with direct implication for specific and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The main goal is to provide knowledge as well as to deal with practical questions of assessment and treatment. Well-advanced students, as well as clinical neuropsychologist new to the field or experienced can profit from this very well written book." --Dr. Carina Sander-Sandersfeld (MSc. Neurocognitive Psychology); Dr. Nergiz Turgut (MSc. Neurocognitive Psychology)
"Overall, purchasing the book can be advised undoubtedly for all clinical neuropsychologists who preferably have at least some scientific background and who are familiar in dealing with scientific research. It will be useful both for professional development and as a reference book." --Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
"Perhaps the single most outstanding feature of Hildebrandt’s book is the strong integration of a decades-long clinical experience with a rich program of theory-based investigations, using behavioral, anatomical, and functional data." -- Dr. Paul Eling, Emeritus Associate Professor of Neuropsychology, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
