Dr. Prigatano is presently the Emeritus Chairman of Clinical Neuropsychology and Newsome Chair of Neuropsychology at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. He is an internationally recognized expert in neuropsychological rehabilitation and the study of anosognosia. His most recent professional work focuses both on the neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy of children and adults with various brain disorders. He is an honorary member of several international organizations and in 1998 served as the President of the National Academy of Neuropsychology within the United States.
This is an excellent book. It is original, unique, and provides a
superb integration of many different sources of information to
provide a rich tapestry of clinical insights. George Prigatano's
vast professional experience, knowledge, wisdom, and humaneness
shines through in this extraordinary book. The book is a
comprehensive, well-integrated resource, but individual chapters
can also be read in isolation, without having to read the whole
book for these to make sense. This is very valuable for readers who
are experienced practitioners within the field, but equally also to
those who may be less experienced, or who are primarily interested
in specific topics covered in the book."

Clinical Neuropsychology and the Psychological Care of Persons with
Brain Disorders is thoughtfully organized and very well written.
Prigatano provides several overviews of the provision of
neuropsychological services more broadly, and discusses these
concepts in greater detail with specific neurological
populations."

Dr. Prigatano's book is valuable in its width, and it delivers
readers insight into the multi-faceted nature of clinical
neuropsychological work. The core arguments are clear, convincing,
and well-reported. The insights are in accordance with the
zeitgeist, but original in their essence. The book covers a wide
variety of theory and clinical work. Mind-brain relations are
described throughout the life span according to recent scientific
advances. Rehabilitation practices are viewed in accordance with
modern demands with the core theme of psychological care in any
brain disorder. Interactional process is emphasized with alliance,
trust rapport, and resilience as adjusting means to altered life
situations. The text offers working guidelines for professionals as
well as students in the field."
