From the Back Cover:

This book is an admirable example of the fruits of...remarkable progress....[Chapters] cover in detail and with uncommon acumen the behavioral sequelae of neurological and non-neurological diseases of children with which neuropsychologists are frequently called upon to deal. Presenting new findings and correcting mistaken assumptions, they reflect a new and higher level of understanding and judgment; this is bound to have a salutary influence on clinical practice (From the Foreword by Arthur L. Benton, PhD).
