Full Description
Identification and management of neurocognitive and behavioral syndromes are increasingly essential components of integrated healthcare. This book provides a thorough and practical framework for successful neuropsychological practice in inpatient settings.
The book is divided into three sections which are designed to build proficiency for inpatient neuropsychologists and related professionals. These sections include: 1) Foundational Competencies, including administrative considerations, relevant medical knowledge, and best practices for evaluating and caring for the diverse types of patients seen in hospital settings; 2) Clinical Syndromes and Applied Practice, including primers on pathology and evaluative approaches and 3) Advanced Practice Considerations, which includes behavioral management strategies, guidance for evaluating decisional capacity, and identification and management of comorbid conditions that can impact outcomes.
Inpatient Neuropsychology serves as an indispensable and practical resource for how to succeed in an interdisciplinary system of care where questions of cognitive status or behavioral management may arise. While tailored for neuropsychologists, this book also holds value for nurses, medical students and residents, as well as allied health professionals working with inpatient populations.
