The Essential Handbook of Memory Disorders for Clinicians. Alan D. Baddeley, Michael D. Kopelman, and Barbara A. Wilson (Eds.). (2004). Chichester: John Wiley & Sons. 381 pp., $45.00, £26.99/€40.50 (PB).
In the preface to this book, the editors reflect that the original Handbook of Memory Disorders (Baddeley et al., 1995) was aimed at a clinically oriented readership. Following publication of the original text, it was noted that neuroscientists expressed enthusiasm for the work, thus the second edition of the handbook (Baddeley et al., 2002) expanded significantly on scientific issues that were perhaps of less immediate clinical relevance. The current text, which the editors have titled The Essential Handbook of Memory Disorders for Clinicians is composed of a series of chapters from the 2002 text. Similar to the 1995 first edition, the goal of this new book is to provide an accessible text aimed at clinicians. Core clinical issues of assessment, nomenclature, phenomenology, etiology, and management are examined as they relate to disorders of memory and associated underlying diseases.
