Military neuropsychology / Carrie H. Kennedy, Jeffrey L. Moore, editors.

"Neuropsychology is quickly becoming the needed specialty area in the military health care system. Military health care and Veterans Administration facilities are hiring psychologists and neuropsychologists at rapid rates in order to provide timely services to active duty and veteran populations. This book serves as a comprehensive resource that combines cutting-edge literature, poignant case examples, and current practices to help neuropsychologists better understand and attend to the needs of military populations." "The text provides in-depth discussions of the unique features of neuropsychological evaluations in the military. The chapter authors thoroughly examine the assessment needs of various military populations, with a special emphasis on traumatic brain injury and the neurocognitive aspects of stress-related problems, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and decision-making under stress."--BOOK JACKET.
