Book Synopsis

This wire-spiral-bound guide will serve as an aid to neuropsychologists in the process of differential diagnosis. The guide is a compendium of information of the base rates of symptoms across a variety of disorders that neuropsychologists encounter. In addition to serving as a source of information on symptom base rates, the manual also contains detailed cross-referencing of symptoms across disorders. Tables on symptom base rates are organized in chapters on medical conditions, psychological conditions, and substance use/exposure. The book will be useful for clinical neuropsychologists and psychologists. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
