Clinical Neuropsychology is a vast and varied field that focuses on the treatment, assessment and diagnosis of a range of cognitive disorders through a study and understanding of neuroanatomy and the relationship between the brain and human behavior.
This handbook focuses on the assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of cognitive disorders.
It provides in-depth coverage on a variety of content, including psychometrics, neuropsychological test batteries (computer based cognitive assessment systems) and assessment applications.
This handbook is vital for clinical neuropsychologists and postgraduate students and researchers hoping to apply a knowledge of neuropsychology to clinical settings and effectively assess, diagnose and treat patients suffering from cognitive disorders.

About the author
Annabel Chen Shen-Hsing is a Professor of Psychology and Director of Centre for Research and Development in Learning (CRADLE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. She is a clinical neuropsychologist educated in the United States (Purdue University, West Virginia University, Medical College of Wisconsin) and conducted post-doctoral research in neuroimaging at the Lucas Centre, Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research seeks to understand disturbance in brain and behaviour using neuropsychological and neuroimaging techniques focusing on cerebellar contributions to higher cognition, optimizing cognition in aging neuroscience (active aging), and the science of learning to translate neuroscience for education.
