Abstract

The article critiques Jonathan DeRight's "Essential Neuropsychology: A Concise Handbook for Adult Practitioners," questioning its effectiveness in providing concise and relevant information for clinical neuropsychologists. The book, which contains 46 chapters across approximately 320 pages, aims to deliver easily accessible content but often prioritizes medical and epidemiological details over essential neuropsychological insights. The reviewer highlights concerns about the book's practicality, given the availability of comprehensive resources through smartphones and other digital platforms, suggesting that the book may not justify its retail price of £54.99. Ultimately, the review raises doubts about the book's value in a rapidly evolving information landscape. [Extracted from the article]
