"This is the ideal introduction for students and professionals new to the field of neuropsychology. The authors have successfully taken a large and complex subject and made it accessible by presenting a clear, succinct and comprehensive compendium. The book is easy to read, it offers practical advice, opportunity for reflective practice and readers in both resourced and under-resourced settings will find the sage counsel valuable." - Debbie Alexander, Psychiatry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
"If you work in rehabilitating individuals with acquired brain injury, you are probably working in a setting with limited physical resources or limited expertise. How to face such universal problems and deliver the basic care that patients need and deserve is the question at the heart of Coetzer and Balchins work. In a field overflowing with intimidating handbooks and manuals, this book brings hand-picked clinical knowledge and warm advice." - Christian E Salas, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Head Forward Centre, Manchester, UK "The books 200 pages offer a compact, yet comprehensive and pleasant reading experience, which prepares the reader for the task of working with patients who suffer from brain lesions...Encompassing almost all aspects of clinical neuropsychology within these two broad categories of (neuro) science and (clinical) art in one short book is no small accomplishment." - Kobi Tiberg, Neuropsychoanalysis
"Working with Brain Injury will not only help to improve clinical practice (and contain the anxiety) of a generation of psychologists new to the field of neuropsychology, it is also an invaluable resource for the experienced neuropsychologist[ it] is a fantastic practical resource that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I would recommend it to all psychologists that have an interest in neuropsychology. It has the potential to improve your clinical and professional practice whilst also saving you a great deal of time!" Janet Hodgson, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist at The Encephalitis Society, for Brain Injury
"Coetzer and Balchin confront the limitations and seem aware that, in those contexts, less may be more. They know that learning a basic set of skills, which can be put then systematically into practice, can make a huge difference. Their book is a materialisation of this idea. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in using clinical neuropsychology to help individuals with acquired brain injury." - Christian E Salas Riquelme, PhD, Head Forward Centre, Manchester, for Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation (ACNR)
