Zusatztext At the beginning of this book, a young Rudi Coetzer asks a senior colleague for help: "How to resemble a clinical neuropsychologist, just a tiny little bit more as I go along?" . This question is also continually asked by my students. This excellent book provides an answer and will help students and young professionals develop. A mixture of sound theoretical knowledge, experience, understanding, and most importantly, deep clinical wisdom, this is a great and highly-needed book for young and more experienced psychologists alike. ( Sanna Koskinen, Clinical neuropsychologist, University lecturer, PhD, University of Helsinki ) This beautiful book interweaves the vulnerability and modesty of a budding new neuropsychologist with the narratives of patients as experienced from the clinician's side of the desk. What adds great weight to the value of the book is that Rudi Coetzer has remained true to the origins of his first cases and refrained from the temptation of choosing only the extraordinary cases – as a result his book is both remarkable and a precious addition to the literature. ( Dr Ava Easton, Chief Executive, The Encephalitis Society, Honourary Fellow, The University of Liverpool ) Informationen zum Autor Dr Rudi Coetzer qualified with distinction as a Clinical Psychologist in 1987.
