About this title

Review

'This is a book which ... approaches memory as a clinical subject with a breadth and comprehensiveness unlikely to be found elsewhere. It is to be strongly recommended, not least for those already engaged or planning to set up memory clinics and to psychiatrists with a desire to learn more about higher mental function .' Journal of Neurolology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

'This book offers the reader a collection of very well-integrated, written and referenced overviews, several of which throw new light on established as well as less established disturbances of memory. It is highly recommended as a fascinating textbook for the memory interested student of psychiatry, neurology or clinical psychology and as a practical reference volume for the clinician.' Acta Psychiatric Scandinavian

'... concise up-to-date evidence-based explanations of the basis of primary, secondary, long-term memory and meta-memory.' International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry

'... the book is replete with valuable information and resources ... the editors have provided a fitting companion for the clinician looking for a memory aid.' Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
