No other book reviews clinical neuropsychological assessment from an empirical psychometric perspective. In this completely revised and updated 2nd edition, the concepts and methods of psychometric neuropsychology are presented as a framework by which to evaluate current instruments. Newer methodologies and statistical techniques are discussed, such as meta analysis, effect size, confirming factor analysis and ecological validity. The explosion of research in this area since the publication of the first edition in 1989, has been incorporated, including a greatly expanded chapter on child assessment instruments. This volume is a must for the bookshelf of every clinical neuropsychologist as well as researchers and students. Anyone conducting forensic evaluations will especially find useful the information on reliability and validity when preparing for court appearances.

Crawford's Affair

by Michael R.E. Adams

Bridgerton meets Virginia Woolf in this artfully entertaining romp! Crawford Manor once stood as the nexus of elite society. But now silence and ache consume the halls. Horatio Crawford and his family live very separate lives. So Horatio reignites the summer social season. He strives to reclaim glory. But youth rebels with romance. And enemies scheme. Can he uncover the secrets before his family falls to scandal? Diverse romances. Adventurously lyrical prose. Crawford’s Affair celebrates the comedy of manners with off-beat humor and a nod to Mrs. Dalloway.
