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
