In his forward to Clinical Neuropsychology Arthur Benton comments, “More aptly than might have been anticipated, clinical neuropsychology is coming of age. I mean by this that it is evolving from what was largely a set of assessment procedures coupled with a diagnostic inference to be drawn from them into a true discipline, conscious of its conceptual bases and concerned with the cognitive and neuromechanisms that mediate the behavior of normal individuals and patients with brain disease.” Dr. Benton's assessment catches the thrust of the book well. It concerns itself with the development and maturation of the field, its relationship to sister disciplines such as behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry, focuses in on important practice and credentialing issues, and provides cogent reviews of progress in many important content areas.
