Product Description
Review
'… well-written and organized, deftly balancing theory and practice, while continuously keeping a finger on scientific evidence without neglecting the all-important client-centered orientation. … this book contains so many useful guidelines and directions for research and practice in rehabilitation that it has much to offer those working in related or parallel fields of practice. … This book is chock full of up-to-date research reviews, ready-to-use treatment programs, and ideas to stimulate any researcher or clinician. Think of it as a manual and desk reference all rolled up in a highly portable book.' Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
Product Description
The aim of neuropsychological rehabilitation is to enable people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioural deficits to achieve their maximum potential in the domains of psychological, social, leisure, vocational or everyday functioning. Describing the holistic programme devised and adopted at the world famous Oliver Zangwill Centre and embracing a broad theoretical base, incorporating a variety of frameworks, theories and models, this book proposes an integrated approach to brain injury rehabilitation by an interdisciplinary team. The coverage explains the underlying principles involved, describes the group therapies employed, highlights a selection of real case examples and reviews the outcomes measured and achieved. This book is essential reading for clinical neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, neurologists, physiotherapists, social workers and nurses.

Format:Hardcover
I really like this book. A lot of books on neuro rehab seem just too vague and woolly for me, but this one is nicely structured. Four chapters on background and theory, eight chapters on the way group-based interventions are organised and delivered at the Oliver Zangwell centre, and ten case examples. A final chapter discusses outcome measurement, which is always a thorny issue, and one that is going to become increasingly important as rehab is not cheap, and those paying for it (PCTs or whoever) want to know they are getting something for their money. Although the interventions are described in terms of groups, it is easy enough to adapt this sort of material for individual work.
I think that everything it covers is covered pretty well, although it is aimed at working with relatively high-functioning individuals: possibly not the majority of patients you might work with, for example, in post acute rehab. This is not a criticism at all, because I think it is better to focus on a narrower range of topics, and do the job properly. Hunter who chases two prey catches neither.
Along with Lezak, Strauss et al., this books belongs on the shelf of every clinical neuropsychology office, and it is a book you will refer to regularly if you do any rehab work. If you teach rehab in any context (e.g. ClinPsyD, Neuropsych masters etc), this belongs on the reading list. Not that it will only be of interest to psychologists, but I would not dare to tell any of the other rehab professionals what their bookshelves should look like. Let's just say, I think anyone working within an multi-disciplanary/inter-disciplinary rehab team will find this a useful resource.
Only gripe is the price. My manager let me purchase it for our department, so I cannot complain (thank you Alison), but it's a bit expensive if it has to come out of your own pocket. Could we get a significantly cheaper paperback version please?
