Brain & Behavior: Research in Clinical Neuropsychology

A reprint from 1969, this volume brings together clinical studies, animal experiments, and observations conducted in the early days of clinical neuropsychology to understand the relationship between brain and behavior. The late Benton, who was a professor of psychology and neurology at the U. of Iowa, compiles seven articles by human and developmental neuropsychologists that include discussion of the historical evolution and status of the field, inter-hemispheric relations, the phenomenon of phantom body parts in amputees, aphasia, constructional apraxia, somatosensory function, and auditory agnosia. Papers are based on a series of lectures given at the U. of Iowa in the spring of 1967. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
