Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is a practical guide for clinical neuropsychologists on how to understand and use medical tests, like lab work, brain scans, sleep studies, and EEGs, to better diagnose and treat patients with cognitive or neurological issues. It fills a critical gap by helping neuropsychologists interpret medical information that often impacts brain function but isn't typically covered in their training.
MoreLong description:
While clinical neuropsychologists are well-versed in the cognitive and behavioral assessment of brain functioning, they are increasingly expected to integrate findings from laboratory and medical diagnostics into their evaluations and case conceptualizations. Few neuropsychologists, however, receive formal training in interpreting such data, despite the ubiquitous nature of such examinations in clinical practice. Medical and Laboratory Examinations for Neuropsychologists is a practical reference designed to bridge this critical gap in neuropsychological training and clinical practice.
This volume equips neuropsychologists with the foundational knowledge necessary to understand and apply neurodiagnostic information in clinical contexts. Chapters cover a range of essential topics, including the interpretation of laboratory values related to thyroid function, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, infectious diseases, hormonal abnormalities, and metabolic disturbances. Beyond lab testing, the book provides an in-depth look at key neurodiagnostic procedures such as EEG, MRI, CT, PET, lumbar puncture, genetic testing, sleep studies, and comprehensive neurological examinations. Each chapter offers concise, clinically relevant guidance to help neuropsychologists better understand how abnormal findings relate to brain health, support differential diagnosis, and inform treatment planning. Designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and interdisciplinary communication, this resource equips practitioners with the knowledge needed to integrate neurodiagnostic data into evidence-based neuropsychological practice. Written by leading experts in neuropsychology and neurodiagnostics, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, trainees, and educators who aim to enhance their diagnostic accuracy and interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating neurodiagnostic data with cognitive assessment, neuropsychologists can play a more informed and impactful role in patient care.
