Item description from seller

IX ; Ill. ; 239 p. Small abrasions on the cover. Otherwise good and clean. - Einband leicht berieben. Sonst gut und sauber. - Many patients with stroke, head injuries or dementia suffer severe memory impairment. Yet there is little in the current literature to help practising professionals cope with such problems, particularly when memory improvement fails to occur. -- This book provides such practical guidance, supported by a discussion of theory about memory systems and functioning. It has been developed from a series of papers presented at a conference at the University of Nottingham in 1982. The authors are well known for the interest they have shown in memory and memory therapy. Topics covered in the book include the relationship between theory and practice, assessment, methods for improving memory, the organisation of memory therapy, the selection of appropriate treatments for individual patients, the role of the microcomputer in memory rehabilitation, the use of drugs in stimulating remembering, the development of programmes to improve attention, and the treatment of the memory impaired in groups. The book will enable professional workers to recognise and, to some extent, overcome the problems that are encountered in the real, everyday lives of the memory impaired. -- Barbara A. Wilson is a Senior Clinical Psychologist at Rivermead Rehabilitation Centre, Oxford. -- Nick Moffat is a Senior Clinical Psychologist, specialising in the care of the Elderly, in the East Dorset Psychology Service. -- CONTENTS: List of Tables, Figures and Plates -- List of Contributors -- Acknowledgements Introduction -- Memory Theory and Memory Therapy Alan D.
