The Boston Process Approach to Neuropsychological Assessment
The Boston Process Approach to neuropsychological assessment, advanced by Edith Kaplan, has a long and well-respected history in the field. However, its theoretical and empirical support has not previously been assembled in an easily accessible format. This volume fills that void by compiling the historical, empirical, and practical teachings of the Process Approach. The reader will find a detailed history of the precursors to this model of thought, its development through its proponents such as Harold Goodglass, Nelson Butters, Laird Cermak, and Norman Geschwind, and its continuing legacy. The second section provides a guide to applying the Boston Process Approach to some of the field's mos...
Vascular Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Mild Cognitive Impairment
"Cerebrovascular and Alzheimer disease often occur together, but are usually studied apart. This book offers a timely integrated approach to both diseases. Beginning with a section on epidemiology and neuropsychology, this volume goes on to discuss and explore the neuropathological and neurophysiological mechanisms of these disorders. This book then develops a novel concept of an Alzheimer disease/vascular dementia spectrum. Sections on neuroimaging, as well as treatments and interventions follow. The editors have succeeded in gathering an impressive group of clinicians and scientists, who are well qualified by their achievements and leadership to make important contributions to this new integrated approach to dementing disorders. This important book should have broad appeal to anyone studying or caring for patients with dementing disorders, as it is comprehensive, yet focused on a unitary, complementary and pragmatic approach"--
Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
This book reviews the neuropsychology of common and a few rare neurodegenerative conditions. The mild cognitive impairment prodrome of each condition is highlighted. Chapters include an autopsy-confirmed case presentation from the authors' files, current diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, neuropathology/neurophysiology, genetics, neuroimaging, associated clinical features, differential neuropsychological features and possible interventions.
Behavioral Neurobiology of Aging
This volume discusses the current state of research findings related to healthy brain aging by integrating human clinical studies and translational research in animal models. Several chapters offer a unique overview of successful aging, age-related cognitive decline and its associated structural and functional brain changes, as well as how these changes are influenced by reproductive aging. Insights provided by preclinical studies in mouse models and advanced neuroimaging techniques in humans are also presented.
Pathways to Prominence in Neuropsychology
Captures the stories behind the work of the clinicians and scholars who have contributed significantly to neuropsychology's development.

Our Shared Future
This edited collection provides deep insights and varied perspectives of innovative and courageous efforts to reconcile the conflicts that have characterized the history of Indigenous people, settlers, and their descendants in Canada. From the opening chapter, the volume contextualizes why Canada is on a reconciliation journey, and how that journey is far from over. It is a multi-disciplinary treatise on decolonization, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation that is a must-read for those scholars, students, and practitioners of peacebuilding seeking a deeper understanding of reconciliation, decolonization, and community-building. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and influencers from across Canada describe positive conflict transformation through various lenses, including education, economics, business, land sharing, and justice reform. The authors describe their personal and professional journeys, offering insights and research into how individuals and institutions are responding to reconciliation. Each chapter provides readers with windows into the tangible ways that Canadians are building a peaceful shared future, together.

Jeremy's Hospital Survival Guide
Jeremy Libon was born with a three-chambered heart. Doctors told Jeremy's parents he would have to undergo a series of operations that would give him a 50 percent chance of living until the age of two. Not only did Jeremy survive-he went on to lead a fulfilling and vibrant life until his death, just before his nineteenth birthday. An expert at making the best of bad situations, Jeremy decided to create a survival guide to help other children cope with their own illnesses. He started writing while he was in the hospital and continued to add to the book right up until his death. After Jeremy's death, his mother, father, and brother added their own perspectives, creating a book aimed at helping families deal with the challenges of living with a critically ill family member. Offering practical suggestions for parents about how to advocate for their child in the hospital, this book also contains important insights on family dynamics and shifting roles. Part memoir and part self-help book, Jeremy's Hospital Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for a model of how a family can band together and weather one of the most devastating ordeals imaginable.
