The text book of cognitive remediation

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.

Sohlberg and Mateer's landmark introductory text helped put cognitive rehabilitation on the map for a generation of clinicians, researchers, educators, and students. Now, more than a decade later, the discipline has come of age. This new volume provides a comprehensive overview of this fast-evolving field. More than a revised edition, the text reflects the dramatic impact of recent advances in neuroscience and computer technology, coupled with changes in service delivery models. The authors describe a broad range of clinical interventions for assisting persons with acquired cognitive impairments--including deficits in attention, memory, executive functions, and communication--and for managing associated emotional and behavioral issues. For each approach, theoretical underpinnings are reviewed in depth and clinical protocols delineated. Difficult concepts are explained in a clear, straightforward fashion, with realistic case examples bringing the material to life. Also included are samples of relevant assessment instruments, rating scales, and patient handouts. Throughout, the new volume emphasizes the need to work from a community perspective, providing a framework for forming collaborative partnerships with families and caregivers. It is an essential resource for professionals across a wide variety of rehabilitation specialities, and will serve as a text in courses on rehabilitation methods and neurogenic disorders.
