The Guilford Press, 2009

Why would I buy this?
In browsing all books available on Psych rehab, I found this most recent book. was all excited about seeing what is inside, and pretty sure I would get this one since the authors were at the doctorate level. However, after viewing the pages they selected for us to see on the "look inside this book" section I completely lost interest. When you select the "suprize me" section, it takes you to the ...

Right text, Listed incorrectly

Laurie Lundy-Ekman PhD PT

Saunders, 2007

A good general reference
Laurie Lundy-Ekman's book was the textbook in my recent upper division neuroanatomy course and offered a good base reference for the course. The author mentions neurological problems relevant to the brain area discussed in that chapter, which is helpful for a better understanding. Its a great reference book to keep on the shelf and its smaller size makes it more handy than other larger neurology ...

Mosby, 2008

A very useful resource for therapist working in cognitive rehabilitation
I found this book very useful for me, as an occupational therapist working with patients with brain damage. The functional approach of this book is more useful for O.Ts than other books that I read before, written by neuropsychologists. I recommend this book for all O.Ts working with patients with cognitive and perceptual deficits.

Saunders, 2004

Great reference book
My dog tore his ACL and I was unable to locate any physical therapy exercises on the internet. After a lot of searching, I found this book listed as a reference. The book is pretty technical, but it does contain a lot of usefull information. The $100 price tag is definitely worth it. Especially considering 1 trip to a Canine Physical Therapist is $50.

Rehabilitation of the Spine: A Practitioner's Manual

15 reviews
Craig Liebenson

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Perspective
As a neurosurgical resident, the care of the spine patient can be summed up as: "can I cut it out." For many patients, this is helpful. For many others, sadly, my knife cannot help - most of these patients are left without a diagnosis, and more importantly without an explanation for why they are having the troubles they are having. This book clearly and comprehensively covers the topic of ...

The authors cite the latest literature in research regarding contemporary treatment approaches, as ...
