Child Neuropsychology and Neurophysiology

The Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology (2nd ed.), as is obvious from the title, is an updated edition of the editors' first book, originally published in 1989. At that time the subspecialty of child neuropsychology was just beginning to unfold its wings, and little was available in terms of a broad and encompassing handbook resource.The book Biological and Neuropsychological Mechanisms: Life-Span Developmental Psychology is an example of how the above problems can be manifested even with a good attempt at execution. The chapters in this book cover a wide range of topics within developmental neuropsychology, including a developmental theory of behavior, mathematical modeling, electrophysiology, lateralization, and adolescent substance abuse.
