Klinische Neuropsychologie psychischer Erkrankungen

Neuropsychological impairments are a core feature of many psychiatric disorders, independent of the psychopathological symptoms, and significantly determine the success of therapeutic and vocational-psychosocial reintegration efforts. The investigation and differential diagnostic assessment of neuropsychological disorders, as well as the derived cognitive treatment measures, thus play an important role in the psychiatric diagnostic and treatment process.

This specialized book focuses on providing compact knowledge oriented towards clinical application regarding neuropsychological assessment and treatment options for mental disorders. Experts from clinical practice and scientific research offer a comprehensive overview of neuropsychological models of mental disorders, diagnostic approaches, and findings using evidence-based methods illustrated by case examples.

Specific chapters also address topics such as neuropsychopharmacology, assessment of driving ability in mental disorders, the use of virtual treatment methods, and the significance of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of mental disorders.
