Reviews

"The recently published book, Neuropsychology Study Guide and Board Review, by Drs. Stucky, Kirkwood, and Donders is a wonderful resource. I wish this was available when I was studying for my ABCN boards, but will enjoy it in any case as an efficient way to review topics from the three sections of the book: Foundations of Clinical Neuropsychology, Fundamentals of Assessment, and Disorders and Conditions. The editors and the chapter authors have made
an excellent contribution that will be of value to students, new clinicians who are studying for their board exam, and even seasoned practitioners." -American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology Community
