Abstract
The six chapters of this compact volume provide an economical introduction to the symptomology, assessment, and treatment approaches to visuospatial neglect. Neglect researchers may find themselves slightly disappointed by the scant attention devoted to theoretical issues regarding neural mechanisms or etiology. To be fair, however, the authors acknowledge that theoretical synthesis is not the purpose of the book,which is aimed primarily at an audience of clinicians and therapists. As such, this monograph admirably fulfills its mission, which is to provide a succinct but comprehensive overview of the clinical assessment and rehabilitation of neglect disorders.
