Preface
We are excited to bring you this revised and expanded version of the Handbook
on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementia, with the addition of 14 new
chapters covering a wide range of topics of practical interest to clinical neu-
ropsychologists working with older adults, as well as updated versions of the
original chapters. This contribution to the Clinical Handbook in
Neuropsychology series (Series Editor, William B. Barr) was envisioned as a
departure from typical textbooks by focusing on concrete clinical descrip-
tions and detailed instructions regarding how neuropsychologists evaluate
various patient conditions. We asked contributing authors to help us create a
“How to” book for neuropsychologists, encouraging experts to describe how
they handle their topic of interest in their daily work, asking them to provide
the reader with valuable tips to help the reader readily digest the skillful
essentials of clinical practice that come from experience.
New chapters expand the breath of topics covered and include expert
advice on fitness for duty evaluations, family systems and feedback, identify-
ing elder abuse, assessing the inpatient, postoperative cognitive decline, sub-
stance use, pain, performance validity testing, management of behavioral
symptoms, cognitive training and rehabilitation, epilepsy, primary progres-
sive aphasia, assessment of patients being evaluated for mechanical circula-
tory support, and a thoughtful contribution on chronic traumatic brain injury.
There’s a wealth of useful information for those preparing for board certifica-
tion as well as essential tips that can benefit even the seasoned practitioner.
We certainly feel we learned a lot by preparing this work.
The Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Aging and Dementia, Second
edition is a unique work that provides clinicians with expert guidance and a
hands-on approach to neuropsychological practice with older adults. The
authors of each chapter are expert practitioners, recognized by their peers as
opinion leaders on their chosen chapter topics. The book is divided into three
parts: Part I addresses “Neuropsychological Assessment of Older Adults: The
Fundamentals,” highlighting issues relevant to what to address in the intake
interview all the way to insightful guidance on the feedback session. Part II
attends to “Neuropsychological Assessment of Older Adults: Special
Considerations/Common Issues.” In this section, we focused on bringing you
expert guidance on common considerations in the aging population, includ-
ing issues such as postoperative cognitive decline, fitness for duty, and man-
agement of behavioral symptoms in dementia. In Part III, “Late Life
Cognitive Disorders,” experts provide insights on key elements relevant to
v

evaluating a specific population or disease state. Suggested test batteries as
well as a user-friendly compilation of “clinical pearls” at the end of each
chapter consist of expert tips and key take-home messages for that topic.
Once again, we found that contributing authors embraced the approach of
providing insightful commentary based on clinical experience, and we appre-
ciate the time they committed to the successful completion of this work. We
are grateful for the guidance and support provided by our publisher, specifi-
cally individuals such as Janice Stern and Christina Tuballes, and special
thanks to Katherine Chabalko for stepping in and overseeing this project
through to completion. Thank you Bill Barr for the opportunity to contribute
this volume to the Handbook series, and thanks to Hannah Deutsch for her
assistance with administrative tasks related to the preparation of the final
product.
