Age-associated Neurological Diseases
The papers compiled in this supplementum are a selection of the best con th tributions presented at the 19 Central-European Neurological Symposium (CNS 19) held on June 29 - July 1, 1989 in Vienna. The main topic of this conference was degenerative and age-associated neurological diseases. In recent decades life expectancy has dramatically increased, at least in the industrialized countries. This has led to extreme distortions of the so-called population pyramids that no longer look like such but begin to almost resemble cylinders. As a consequence of this "overaging" of the population, diseases that are associated with age have become much more common than before. It was thus more than reas...
Lobotomy Nation
This book tells the story of one of medicine’s most (in)famous treatments: the neurosurgical operation commonly known as lobotomy. Invented by Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz in 1935, lobotomy or psychosurgery became widely used in a number of countries, including Denmark, where the treatment had a major breakthrough. In fact, evidence suggests that more lobotomies were performed in Denmark than any other country. However, the reason behind this unofficial world record has not yet been fully understood. Lobotomy Nation traces the history of psychosurgery and its ties to other psychiatric treatments such as malaria fever therapy, Cardiazol shock and insulin coma therapy, but it also situates lobotomy within a broader context. The book argues that the rise and fall of lobotomy is not just a story about psychiatry, it is also about society, culture and interventions towards vulnerable groups in the 20th century.

Handbook of Depression in Alzheimer’s Disease
Advances in healthcare have led to an extended life expectancy throughout the developed world, but cognitive impairment in later life, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in particular, remains one of the intractable problems which can blight quality of life as we age. Depression in Alzheimer's disease is an additional factor which has a significant impact on disability, disease progression, and caregiver burden. This book, volume 4 of the Advances in Alzheimer’s Disease book series which is published in coordination with the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, presents papers which reflect the progress in recent years of research into depression in AD. This research has focused on several areas, i...
Klinische Neuropsychologie
Dieses umfassende, gut strukturierte und anschauliche Lehrbuch wurde aus einer interdisziplinären Initiative von Psychologen und Medizinern entwickelt. Das Buch beinhaltet alle wichtigen Themen der postgraduellen Ausbildung zum klinischen Neuropsychologen und stellt den derzeitigen "State of the Art" dar. Das Grundlagenwissen, wie etwa Neuroanatomie und Untersuchungsmethoden, sowie klinische Aspekte häufiger Gehirnerkrankungen, spezielle neuropsychologische Syndrome und auch therapeutische Zugänge werden von Spezialisten des jeweiligen Fachgebietes praxisnah dargestellt. Zahlreiche Abbildungen illustrieren dabei die oft komplexe Thematik. Die zweite Auflage wurde aktualisiert, zudem wurde sie ergänzt durch ein Kapitel zu den neuropsychologischen Entwicklungsstörungen und psychischen Störungen. Zielgruppe sind in erster Linie Absolventen der Studienrichtung Psychologie, die sich speziell für Neurowissenschaften interessieren. Es eignet es sich aber auch für Berufsgruppen wie Ärzte, Logopäden, Ergo- oder Physiotherapeuten und Studenten der Psychologie.
